Title: Logistics - Midlands Members can you help?
Post by: Markie on 07 May 2007, 19:53:17

Seen a car on ebay - ideal initially for my needs - 3.2 mv6 estate.

Now i dont yet know if i will be bidding ( awaiting some answers - cambelt and tensioners etc - and additional pictures)

All being well and if it sits in a nice price range i will probably bid.

But its 280 miles from my Glasgow base in a place called alcester... :-/

Which is apparently 1 hour from East Midlands Airport....

Does anyone know of this place alcester and is East Midlands Airport the nearest? Anyopne near to " Alcester?"

About 5 to 10 minutes from my work.

About 6-7 miles up the A422 from Inkberrow.

Where in Alcester is it?

You will have to say hello!

okay so when you ask a few questions about a car on ebay and get limited response from a seller and when you ask for interior shots and get none..... :-/
i guess its not perfik.

Oh and its due a cambelt change - actually overdue one by our standards.

Next....
