I could be corrected but I thought the burgundy models may have been 1999-2000ish. You may find it very difficult to get an awning, I would hang fire and buy one with an awning.

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?

HERE is the last lot of completed sales from Ebay. You will see a 91 with awning went for £750.
If you are only going to use it for a one/two night stay then probably you would not need the awning, but what happens if you decide to go for a week, then you would get the benefit of having one. Personally I would not buy one without the awning, and I suspect most people would look to have one.
£800 yes to much IMO

just a small point,him saying the canvas has not even streched yet is just plain wrong.the canvas will shrink not strech,so if you are unable to extend the bars now,it won't get better,unless you put the time in to restrech the canvas.
as to the price.it seems steep for a fc without awning.

that was a lovely summer

Put my 2penneth on his other post. The dealer we bought ours from said to us NEVER ever get rid of our awning just because we do not use it as the re-sale value plummets. So with our 6 weeker coming in Sept 7th the awning of our Fiesta is already out into shed till winter then we will bring it inside. But will not be selling it. Love ours its the freedom and they are bigger tahn people realise are they not Wongers. Caravans with canvas roof yet bigger than most as the beds are kept made up

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks if it is right for you, personaly I wouldn't buy a FC or TT without an awning and I suspect the majority on this knowledgeable site would say the same, but, if it is in good condition, a fair price and what you want then go for it. I would certainly try to get him to drop the price though just on the fact that he was so far out with its age. Its suprising how much equipment you will "need" when you get a new toy so every little bit helps.
