quite right... I think the main value of the business would have been the license anyway. Mini-Cabs & Taxi's can sell their cars for peanuts, but if the license is included then the value shoots up.
I have no signature.

Was it listed as an Edinburgh based business?

Was there anything false in the advert on eBay?

Are you not about 10 years too late for the limo business bandwagon? Seems to be so many operating and closing / selling that it cant be as easy as it once was.

No no, if the price is right you could operate 24/7 I reckon.

You see some limos out and about at 'prom time' (not sure when that Americanisum started to get used over here :( ) not sure who else would be renting them?

I did once rent one in the US but that was only because I could not find a taxi that would take my skis :lol:

Are you serious? They are everywhere in Edinburgh, especcially at the weekends. Some guys are booked solid for three months.
