is there anything i should know about the carver, any history/problems etc?

Brian, here is Ian's original sales post and photos .

yup thats the one,

Fantastic looking thing

Brian,

You just need to make sure you keep it regularly serviced and keep a close eye on the front tyre because once you get the hang of it you will be wearing out that front wheel!

Much like Morgan's, the Carver can be quirky. Sometimes the service lever loosens a bit so you get the warning light come up. Just a question of making sure it's back in the right position.

cheers, i need to take it for a test drive

I'm in Jordan and egypt for a week but would love to take you round for a spin when I'm back. There is quite a difference between a poddle and a spirited flight in a carver!
