I don't know whether it's true that there would be any greater fees to pay in the event of a no deal Brexit or any other possible outcome of the current goings-on in politics, but I sincerely hope someone from as far away as possible likes this boat enough to buy it and remove it. The buyer would probably not be wise to take it to the Netherlands and try to sell it as "Dutch Barge Style". I'm gutted I wanted to get in before the dreaded "B"& offered the asking price subject to survey only to be told he/she wouldn't post to France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I passed it at Tyseley a year or two ago. It really is hideous. The worrying thing is someone, somewhere thought it was a good idea!

Ray T Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 For a boat with such a hefty price tag the access steps look a bit B & Q to my eyes. Or perhaps its a design feature to utilise the space better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebotco Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I would think the vendor would have more success advertising in his local asylum, rather than ebay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No price shown in the ad or where I have saved it in my Watced Items list, when viewed in my phone browser. But price clear to see when viewed in the EBay app. Most odd!
