That's interesting. When I bought my first Three Wheeler in April 2012, I bought it through a well known dealer at the bottom of Cornwall, and as I live closer to the factory, not only was he going to charge me £300 or £400 for collection, he would have driven practically past my door, so I took my trailer up to the factory and collected it myself, registered it and then took it down to him for PDi a few weeks later, with a few hundred miles on the clock, truth to tell though, I don't think it needed much doing to it at all, and it had a bevel box which was all but silent, so they do exist.
It's a shame your Christchurch dealer wasn't so obliging Philip?
