Thanks for the info on the 1993 Grange. Someone has already offered me $200
but I thought I could get at least $300.

If noby fronts up this week, then I may end up selling it for around the
$200.

I may save you the trip and bring to you in NZ. I'm flying to Auckland next
Sunday. I'll only will be there for 2 days.
