They are NOT the original cushions, but were used by the previous owner quite happily for his tour of the uk and are very comfy to sit / lay on. There are 4 long cushions only. All approx 2 feet by 6 feet. 2 of them are approx 3...

Re: Wanted Portafold

Hi Graham,
Thanks for replying. We've managed to find one now, needs a bit of work but not too bad (fingers crossed!)
Shame our timings were a little out so we hadn't had to contend with Ebay (evil bay!)
Thanks again, good luck with the sale. I'm sure it'll get snapped up.
Debbie
