Very nice, a new Everest 650 is around £25,000 alone and at 123 hours that's as good as new.

Got the email today, someone is going to get a serious bargain on this.  Even if you had to pay 35 - 40k. Imagine if you got it for a mere 20k  ;D

I was speaking to a carpet cleaner from leeds they told him it had been parked in their yard for over 6 weeks so this was through the freezing weather, so Billy might be right

Billy Boy,  after starting the machine is it obvious that there is frost damage to it?  Any burst hoses or HX?

I bet th van was worth at least 14k.  Regardless if the truckmount had been frozen & damaged that is still a bargain.

We got it.
Still sorting out the deal with Eddison's (some bureaucracy about the vehicle) but hope to collect next week.
We knew all about the freezing and there was another issue too but that was sorted properly by Prochem.

Thanks Will.
The van is huge but I have been studying all my jobs since it went up for auction and I don't think I would have struggled with any of them.  No doubt there will be jobs where the portable has to come out but at least there is room to carry one.  We will be selling our Hydramaster 421 in the coming weeks.
