Re: Its a long shot but....

So long as you know what you could be getting into is all :? I think if I was going to rebuild an old Pug I'd go for an old old Pug. Loads of them here - http://www.njuskalo.hr/oldtimer-auti/peugeot-403-god-1958-oglas-8213500 Hold on, did they ever sell these in the UK?? http://www.njuskalo.hr/oldt...

Re: Its a long shot but....

The reason "the vehicle has been left in a car park for 3 years, and I would like to purchase it from its owner" seems perfectly reasonable to me, but of course these are civil servants we're dealing with...
