Well done Danny. Hopefully another one saved. Talk to kerryminigringo about Mk2s as he is putting the final touches to his.

Best of luck with it.

Any photos of the rescue mission?

All the best,

Billy

There is a thread in the general section of the forum with the heading " return of the MKII".Have a look at that and also in the members galleries under Aidan Mc Grath and remember nothing is impossible when you hire experts. :lol: By the way,mine has 48k on the clock,genuine.

10" is enough for any man.
