I've posted aletter through his door today.
Apologising for any inconvenience and outlining my reasons for taking an interest. I included some pictures of previous restorations and outlined my concerns that in a few more years it will be too far gone. I signed off off by saying that I did understand his reasons for wanting to keep it and just left my phone number should he ever change his mind.
Truthfully, I'm not expecting my phone to ring anytime soon.
Doesnt mean I'm going to give up, I just wont be harrassing him. I'll keep an eye on it from a discrete distsnce every now and then.
Someone asked me what I offered him for it.
I asked his price. Asked him to name a figure and when he said he wasnt sure, offered him a figure I thought was reasonable.
Having sat down and researched spare panel prices from the likes of gerson, schofield and others, and worked out what was needed to restore it, I genuinely believe it will be cheaper to build one from scratch using a stripped chassis.
Just means I'll need to obtain a chassis number.
