Hi Paul. It's all still very undecided, I wanted to get the M3W next Monday July 28th but apparently the factory is closed that week (and the week before). Although the car is apparently almost completed, there is no time to sort the registration process from now to mid July, so I'll need to wait for the week that starts Monday August 4th.
This will mean that my voyage home (and the time I have available to do it) will need readjusting. Despite the uncertainty, the

really wants to use this trip to visit Ireland if that becomes possible within our time constraints, so I guess we will check the ferries available and will probably leave England to the West, not to the South.
I have an Irish friend that mentioned, sometime ago, that Malvern isn't too far to catch a ferry in "Holyhead", but I never checked the options we have available for an "Ireland" trip.
Sorry I can't be more informative, but I'm really unable to plan ahead at this moment.
