Thanks for the info.Looks like its way too old to be worthwhile pouring time and money into.Think is best to pass it on to someone who likes a project.Coming to an internet auction site near you!

Sold on ebay for £46.When i said collection only on the listing i envisaged a local buyer due to weight ect but the chap who bought it drove up to Glasgow from Oxford yesterday overnight to collect.A round trip drive of nearly 700 miles in a transit type van.Madness i thought for a 40 year old leaky inflatable with no floor but maybe this model still has a desirablility factor? Still get the use of my driveway back!

I should say. If you had template for floor sections - then you'd be half way there. Having said that, 1973...
