I have owned my 75 for over 10 years loving polishing it and keeping it on the road - yesterday evening it repaid my kindness by saving my life. I know its silly to get attached to cars, but loosing the car is the only thing that has got me emotional during the whole ordeal, it was a buddy. It will be very fondly remembered. RIP old girl.
On a slightly lighter note... I have front and rear passenger doors in starlight silver that I had been intending to put on the car. I am keen to pass them onto someone, they are going free to anyone who can collect them from Hertfordshire.

What a horrific experience for you, Rob.
So glad that you are safe and well and able to tell us about it.
Really impressed at the way the car protected you so well.
All the very best,
