757 Lilac Beauty - SOLD

[tim757]

I have reluctantly come to a decision regarding sailing and decided it’s time to hang up my life jacket. This has been a really difficult one that I’ve been putting off for far too long.

Sadly, it also means I’m going to have to part company with my beloved Lilac, so if anyone’s interested please contact me.

Quick update chaps.....

Item 2, 2007 R&J now sold.

I'd also like to add that the trailer's wheels have been balanced and it comes c/w hitch-lock, transom mount number plate/ mast support.

There's also a brand new, unused, spare wheel, which I may include or flog on eBay depending on the offers.

I'd be quite interested in the combi trailer, I think it would be useful if you gave some idea of what price you had in mind for each of the items.

I'm a Yorkshireman and so I always want to pay the least I can, but I appreciate that you would like to get as much as you can. I don't want to insult you so I'd really like to know if what you want is near what I'd be prepared to pay.

I'm not tight, I'm just careful. :-)

Cheers
Paul

I've made a few amendments to the original post.

I will only sell the trailer separately as and when a new home's been found for Lilac.

NB: for some reason I'm not getting notification of posts, so contact me directly please, do not rely on the forum.
