I am offering this for sale on behalf of my husband who unfortunately has had a stroke and can no longer drive the shorty. It would be much appreciated if only serious parties who are genuinely interested in purchasing the shorty comment or contact us, this is a very stressful time for the family and we would not appreciate negative comments or silly remarks. Many thanks for your co-operation.
