I've never heard of the manufacturer before, so beware. The hydrostratic head (how much water it will take before it leaks) is only 1500 - best to go for a 2000 hh or higher if you plan to camp in England.
If you need a tent on a limited budget, it would be better to buy a second hand tent by a well known manufacturer, especially with the heavy rain & winds we're experiencing this year. Go for a second hand Vango, Wynnster, Khyam, Gelert, Coleman, Sunncamp, Royal, Outwell, Aztec or Easy Camp. You would get a good one for less than the cost of the ebay tent.

I'm new to all this but agree with the others. The two things that have been drummed into me by experienced campers is go with a known quality brand and nothing less than a 2000 HH. You can get second hand tents fitting both these criteria for the same amount of money I imagine.
We bought our sunncamp 12xp from ebay from a private seller with good feeback.Paid less than that and its an excellent tent from a well known manufacturer,havn't had any probs with it at all this year,and considering the weather conditions we've put it through its been fantastic.

couldn't agree more the hydrostatic head seems poor,if you are restricted by budget try the ads on this site

We have just bought a wynnster hawk 8 and took it out for a rain drenched long weekend in Wales and held out excellently. you can pick up a 2006 model for cheaper than the one you have seen if you shop around a bit

hiya and welcome, sorry but i dont think this is worth the money and after being used at a festival i wouldnt touch it with barge pole.
Agree totally with Iru Bru. You would be wise not to touch it.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
Topic: is this a good deal?
