      I will consider serious, sensible offers. I will not entertain silly low-ball figures, and I'm in no rush to sell - so don't be offended if I say no.

          I’ve now got the new V5 with her new number on it. For some reason the chaps at Swansea have issued her with ‘D183 GDL’ - no idea why, as the donor and her originally issued reg where both C plates.
