I looked at second hand Plus Fours for six months and failed to find one that met with my approval. And more important, met with the approval of Mrs F.

We therefore ordered a new one. We now have a car that is exactly what we wanted and we got to see it in build and to speak to some of the wonderful people who built the car. These are all things that you cannot put a price on.

We do not have children. One day, our executor will have the problem of selling the car- hopefully by then showing signs of careful enjoyment over many 10's of thousands of miles. Not our problem. If it has to be sold before then, we will aim to sell it to someone who will use it and take what we can get for the car - hopefully enough for two mobility scooters- both with overdrive!!
