I might be able to help you out however I am in the US. If all measures up I would donate the chair to you and you would only need to pay the shipping charges. I'll have to do some checking for you before I can promise anything but in the meantime what chair dimensions do you need? (Seat width & depth) We can go from there.

Hi

I have a 12 old Action rigid framed chair - it was my first ever chair (was well used for about 6 years). Looks a lot like a Quickie GPV. It is lightweight but is in need of renovation (needs a respray, new front castors and new bearings for back wheels, could probably go with some new upholstery too)

Low back (got a hacksaw to it, so it wont adjust) about 10 inches? 16 x 16 inch seat.

You can have it for free if you can come and get it. Based in West Midlands, UK.

PM me if interested
