Cheers strange days ! I have written to the two previous owners , and they have been in contact with me. The first owner , who lives in a multi million pound home in Westminster, sent me some photo's of the the Rangey crossing the Verbier pass in Switzerland in winter in the early 90's ! The...

I forgot to mention that when my renewal came through from Adrian Flux , two months after my settlement, the premium had gone up by about £400 for my 3rd party fire and theft 4x4 policy !!! I shopped around , and got the classic policy with agreed value from Lancaster insurance for £228 fully...
