Nice looking MH but some alarm bells rang. Sign of damp near skylight, step didn't work, rust to shock mounts, lights didn't work to fridge controls, The main alarm was the people selling the Hobby. Not being cruel here but the wife?. the son? and the chap looked like hillbilly's whose love is found within the family, if you know what I mean.
On the drive was a Chausson Flash, Hobby and two VW campers, this is on a council estate and I assume they were trading illegally within a residential area.. No prejudice against council tenants, I was born and bred in Wythenshawe!
When I pointed out the issues to a rather scruffy chap who was watching daytime tv at full blast and didn't turn it down, he just said "give me £500 deposit and I'll sort it all out, it'll be fine". The house was a mess, there was a rampant Staffy, parrot and numerous budgies squawking trying to out do the tv. Hardly a professional operation.

Gets back home and looks on his site and it appears he has around 30+ vehicles including an e-type jag.

It was all a bit off putting tbh.
