If this wasn't in bloody Cornwall.....I'd be haggling over a suitable price already!
Fancied one of these for a good while now.
As Marty said though......just too far to make economic sense!
WHITE 1989 BX14E LEADER for sale
Well thats it really, been stood a long while, will probably need trailering,, so its drive down to Cornwall rom darkest Lanky, with trailer, hitch, drive back - £35 for trailer hire and another 100 probably for fuel in the Zafira.
Buy a white TZD and paint the window surrounds with tipp-ex, much cheaper.

I'd say definitely need trailering rather than probably.Well thats it really, been stood a long while, will probably need trailering,
To me it's only really worth even haggling over after viewing, unless the owner has been applying considerable TLC both while it's been standing, and before. On anything stood that long, I'd factor in a new set of tyres and discs at least and very likely an exhaust on a petrol car, before even thinking of the 1980s pipework or the corrosion that might have set in, or indeed any other kind of hydropneumatic-Citroen-left-standing problems.
The potential fix list could be a very long one (including almost anything that corrodes, seizes or perishes).
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.

Never even knew we got white Leaders in the UK!
I'd buy it, but thankfully there's too much water between me & Cornwall!

I've still got an "itch" about a white Leader......maybe I will need to scratch it?
I'm awaiting a reply to the long-winded email I sent this morning.
After working out the logistics of how to get the thing back up North, I am NOT planning on parting with much money for what could be a rot-box money pit! A close-to 800 mile round trip with a trailer hanging off the back ain't exactly a fun thing to look forward to....even in Monica!
Must get those rear arm bearings sorted sharpish, if I'm going to be doing some serious towing
