Hi Tony,

I wish someone would buy it so it stops tempting me everytime I log on.

I can currently offer you these three custard cremes (as Corin didn't want them) and a highline tourer loom in swap for it!

Let me know!

Hi Mark, Yes the car was supplied to the Warwickshire Air Ambulance Service in July 2005. I am assuming that it was used to get the Helicopter team to and fro. They kept the car for five years and the annual mileage was just 6-7000 miles per annum. The car is in superb condition and the roof rubber grommet is the only real giveaway about its original purpose.

Thanks for the info Tony, could the hole in the roof be covered by a small ariel of some sort?

Yes I'm sure that it could, although I scarcely notice it. It could also be made less visible with the use of a flatter grommet rather than the present domed one - I am looking for a suitable one to spray yellow.

Could this be the answer of why the road tax is cheaper
