The main issue is likely to be mould spots on the canvas - it generally appears on the inner roof where steam from the cooker has collected above the roof liner - it can be treated with a dilute solution of milton to kill the spores but it probably won't remove the spots- you would probably need to reproof if you do this so I would factor in the cost of buying a load of Fabsil and a pump spray (£50) If you can live with it then it's a really good bargaining point.

Check the inner bed tents too they can sometimes get mould spots in the corners out of sight (treat with Dettol Mould and Mildew spray to remove the spots and then stick 'em in the washer).

Don't be put off by surface dirt inside as other peoples idea of clean might not be the same as yours - remember it's mostly hard surface and can all be cleaned up with lots of hot soapy water.  

I reckon you shouldn't be paying more than £750 for one in A1 condition and about £500 for an average one, although you might be happy to pay a bit more for a private sale .

Hi - sounds like you got a great deal. I hope you enjoy it -  put some pics on when you get it up so we can all see.

 I'm afraid I can't recommend anywhere local to try as I only ever go to t'seaside when I go away (may as well sit in my back garden as a field somewhere - but that's just me).

I believe Delamere Forest and the Fishpool sites are both good - both about 15 mins from me and I think Fron Farm near Mold has had some good reviews - that's probably about 30-40 mins but depends where in Cheshire you are. Have a look on the reviews on this site you can do a search of all the local ones and see what other folks think of them.
