Hi randall,
Wish I knew how to post pics!
If you enter the e-bay no, it will show you the one I bought.
It's allready arrived here in the UK and it is like new.
Dont know 'bout the other one but he does say "It's used"

Ian,

Where in the UK are you located? I'm in Lodon a couple of times a year on business. I've walked around most of the Marinas in London and never seen a 31 Bertram.

Jackryan,
I'm in Southampton, about 70 miles from London on the south coast.
When I found her, she was moored in Brighton Marina so you have been pretty close to what is probably the only B31 in the UK.
There was definately another one in the UK back in the mid 90's but so far I've been unable to trace her but I'll keep looking.
If you have the time, next trip, feel free to call me and we'll meet up.
Regards Ian.

Jack,

That was a great film they made about your last trip to London, be good to see a 31 in your next film if it's made over there again.
