The Black Berlin is towed away.

We arrived at Mark's to see the Black Berlin on the back of Neil's trailer.

This is Mark's second IWL Berlin. He bought the first one of eBay as a project to do up. This is the blue one below. Unfortunately it was a bit too much of a project. Restoration was impossible without changing important items like the engine.

Soon after purchase the Black Berlin was registered in this country, taxed, MOT'd, insured and on the road. Great with my Troll, his Troll on the road and his Berlin we needed to organise a run out. Unfortunately not too be. During that week someone broke into his shed and stole the Berlin. When they failed to get it running they vandalised it. Mark got the call from the police to come and pick it up. Mark never touched it again except for moving it about. He did have a good collection of spare parts to rebuild it and these have gone off with the new owner.
