Half your stops won't have petrol at the dockside so you will need to find a way of collecting that sort of volume of fuel!
Polwart: you need to think laterally here about fuel costs and consider the saving in hotel costs when the boy Nathan K does a lap of England/Britain/UK/whatever in less than 24 hours by running at full pelt.

Hi

If it has less then 400 hours we have £4500 cash!

As was said before it depends on the hours and service history just like a car.

Ask them to email the report and post the hours, average revs, last service and any fault numbers on here and then we can give you a better answer.
