Wonder if the fact they were struggling to get a replacement leg for it and rising fuel costs were to blame, such a shame as it was doing a grand job, how much did she sell for?

No, it sold on eBay beginning of May 2010. DeMobbed has it as being at Kemble which is old news. I think it moved north… Yorkshire, Norfolk or somewhere like that.

Bottom of page 28 on the older ‘seen on eBay’ thread…
