Oops, I sent my reply on this to Chris - didn't notice he had emailed the
list.

The problems on selling Matilda whole really arise because I'm in
Newfoundland and the market here is tiny.  And because she isn't driveable
now to a different destination.  She would need to be shipped and it's far.

I'm happy to sell her whole, if someone wants to figure out a way to ship
her.  I'd love for her to be restored by someone who cares about vanagons
and can do that.  I'm not looking to make a lot of money off her - the real
cost would be the shipping.

If you're serious about shipping her, please let me know.  I just did a bit
of online scouting for quotes on what it would cost, though so no responses
so far.  But you can do that too, and you know where you'd be shipping to
so that could make more sense.

If you are interested, please do contact me!
