NEWSFLASH WINNEBAGO.

Thursday 25th.September.

This morning after our night out for my birthday we had to be up early as the people working on the marbel floors had arranged to come first thing in the morning,James and his wife arrived on time and set to work on bringing the floors back to their best.Many thanks to all our family and friends for their cards and also to Jane ,Jo and Kelvin for their e-mails.We had arranged to meet Vidal at the garage to go over the Winnebago for the last time as it is being taken to Germany on Friday morning,to Hamburg to be put on German eBay to be sold! The garage has a sister garage in Hamburg and the owner,Charles,sells and buys car’s all the time in this way.The market in Germany is very large and good for motorhomes and we are hoping for a quick sale,the other option was for Dudleys in Oxford to come and collect it and sell it on their site,but with no time guarantee and the market value is not as good.We spent the morning going over the Winnebago with the delivery driver to show him all controls etc.It will have trade plates on it and when it gets to Germany and it will be put on German plates and go through German checks so as to make it right for sale in the German market,it has been fully insured and covered for brakedown and when it arrives they will take the pictures to post on eBay.So it’s nearly the end of the Winnebago in our life which when we set off we thought it would be for four years in the first instance; that’s life! How things change !! The pictures above show the Winnebago on the garage forecourt getting ready to go.Watch this space and please keep your fingers crossed for us as it goes on eBay at the end of next week!
