Have a look at this one, and compare with a works one.

Doesn't anyone know how to make quality anymore, what happened to craftsmen? I had a '57 Squarriel once with a dent in the tank (chromed so couldn't be bogged) I went to over 25 "panel beaters" before I finally found an old guy willing to even try and repair it....he cut it to pieces because of the rust he found inside and hand made new panels to fit....good enough to chrome when he finished!!
That type of Craftsman is all but impossible to find these days, a very sad indictment on the "repair by replacement" tradespeople around today. My wife hit a kangaroo in our 3 month old car, it had runs in the paint when it came back from repair????
Painted a rugby jersey on one cos I thought it was a WALLABY.........you know....wallaby...footba....forget it sorryYou still painting Roos?
Did you make that tank Trev?http://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/...an-one-computer-or-need-to-store-files-online

As I started this this thread I thought I may as well have the last word, I was going to write an article in MPH about the whole unsavory episode but I guess (hope) that there are not too many Alan Powell's amongst us in our club for enthusiasts, so I decided not to waste my time or club journal space on his like. I did not bother to follow the Ebay auction and until Albervin posted the result I had no idea what the tank went for, I would not have even bid £551.00 under the circumstances. As an aside once Alan had gone through the charade of telling me that my cheque had not arrived for day after day he did not even have the decency to return it, so as his integrity is questionable I took the precaution of cancelling the cheque with my bank. The episode could have been so easily avoided, decide how much you want for your spare parts and stick to that price, or put them on Ebay in the first instance and let the market decide the price.
