Ish.  Not as much as I was after.  I decided to be a bit flexible on price
as I hadn't had much interest.  Then, as soon as I'd taken a deposit, I had
2 people contact me offering full price, cash.  Sod's law.

It certainly hasn't paid me back what I spent on it, but hey, I didn't
really expect it to.

vehicles never do, unless you chance on something fantastically rare for a
fiver.

Once got a Maxi for 15 quid, had a couple of years running from it and sold
it on for £150 for parts.

It gave me back everything I'd ever spent on it.

well, to be fair, I once acquired an SII for 60 quid, spent about 300 on
repairing it, sold the number for 380, and eventually sold the vehicle for
500, which wasn't bad.

hehe.

mind, I did spend part of the proceeds on a new canvas hood for it.

and besides, there's the thing about "a fool and his money"... would *you*
pay 595 quid to put "795 PKT" on a peugeot 205?

I know the anti 4x4 alliance like to issue 'fake' parking tickets. It is in
fact illegal to do so!
Just read this at http://www.marketinglaw.co.uk/open.asp?A=231
'Apart from planning law restrictions, the law of trespass prevents the
display of advertising on the walls of buildings or on fences without the
consent of the owner. There will be a trespass also if the advertisement
over- hangs the property of another, or is distributed in a way which
interferes with the property of another, for example by lifting a car
windscreen wiper to put a hand-bill under it. Trespass is a tort {civil
wrong) for which the property owner may recover damages from the trespasser
or obtain a court order or injunction preventing further trespass. Affixing
posters to property without the owner's consent can also amount to the
criminal offence of criminal damage.'

Cheers, Stew.
