Hi Stuart and welcome to the group.

There are only three pieces of advice I can offer about buying a Safari -

1. Check for damp
2. Check for damp again
3. Check for damp yet again!!!

Almost all other faults can be sorted out relatively cheaply, but if damps has got in you can budget for a lot of time andquite a bit of money to get rid of it!!

If you find a Safari that interests you, let us know and we will give you our best advice.
