Scooter for Sale

Posted by & filed under Fundraising.

Gina is selling Tony’s motability scooter and is very kindly donating the proceeds to the Centre.

It is a TGA Mystere, technical specifications attached.  It had a service and a new battery in July 2021 costing £245 (invoice available).  The scooter is currently in Didcot for viewing, I could probably ask for it to be delivered to the Centre.  Suggested donation £400 but this is negotiable!
