Ho hum, it looks like the motor car wasn’t exported to the USA after all, and languishes in Hertfordshire.

:-)

PS. I’ll report back at the end of the auction to let you know whether the motor car gets any bids over the £3,500 starting price.
Seems to have gone east instead of west?

Cunning Andrew - and you are dead right. Those two sets of photos were taken in the same street.

It is a pity Rikvdub isn’t here to read this (he proudly tells us he has been banned).

We can enjoy a bit of a gloat though: ‘we was right!’

I noticed the personal registration plate (BED991) has been transferred from the Volvo 240 and is now associated with an Audi TT. I also note the seller has carefully covered the Volvo's new registration plate - could that be to disassociate it from the dodgy MoT history Dave uncovered previously?

Surely not :-)

PS. I wonder if there is an icon for 'gloating'?
