Hi Rich

Thanks for the info.

I see you query the insurance on the vehicle.

I also think it fair to warn you that when I got out of the Forces in 1947 I just swapped my Army driving licence for a civilian one so I never actually passed a UK driving test.

Just think.....

I've been driving these sixty odd years without a test........

Makes you think, dont it
