Hi Kevin,
He wants £350 for it. It requires a few little elastic clippy things that attach the flysheet to the main body of the tent, other than that its good. Pics were taken during our recent overland trip.
If you want any more pics let me know and he'll put the tent up.

Kevin,
Put the tent up this morning, here are some up to date photos!
The flysheet over the windows has a couple of small holes as shown in the pics. The tent is currently fitted to my 110 following our overland trip across Africa.
Letr me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers

Hi Kevin,
See here: http://www.hannibal.co.za/Default.asp?pageid=541
The fly sheet is made of a material called Oxford nylon and the main tent is more of a canvas material. All the roof tent manufacturers seem to use the same material they call it polycotton ripstop.
The one in the picture is shown without the full flysheet, this isn't always needed outside the UK!

Hi Kevin,
Please let me know as you decide. I appreciate it is a big investment but no way near as much as if you bought new....

Hi Kevin,
I appreciate you have to take time in deciding. I'll wait for your email tomorrow.
I think they are 7-800 pounds new, I suggest you do a search for them!
