I can happily say i'm very much the owner of a HQ Sandman as of now!!

The previous owner and I always missed each other calls but got hold of him today and the deal is signed and sealed!!! Patience paid off as ive been searching a while.
An extra bonus is its only 25kms from where i live!!! She'll be residing in her new home next weekend due to both myself and the previous owners having prior engagements.

Thanks to everyone for their input and kind words!

Just goes to show why this forum really is brilliant!!
