This will be of no help to you but I found a company (midlands based I think) who would inspet the bike, negotite the price and deliver the bike for you but I can't for the life of me find the web page again!

Well I know SvRich looked over an Sv for someone from OOp North, when it was on his doorstep

Saved the bloke a big trip & he bought it after SvRich's viewing.

Ask one of the Org to have a good look at it close up & ring the seller for the service history etc

I'm off to Halifax next weekend so if you are still after somebody let me know. I could pop to Bradford and have a look for you. I could take lots of pictures of anything in particular that you want to look at.
