(CM 18-24 February) I think many readers would find it more helpful if advertisers would state the place where their goods may be seen, rather than quote a long telephone number. Most prospective purchasers like to inspect vehicles for sale before they decide whether or not to make an offer.
You cannot say on the telephone whether or not you will buy the goods, especially with secondhand trucks where the condition of the vehicle is much more important than the first year of registration. There are, after all, trucks and trucks — age not being the only consideration.
Incidently, where are all these secondhand trucks anyway? At the moment we could well be very interested in buying a Foden tractive unit with Gardner engine. Does anyone have anything to offer? Jean Sharples
