This brings back fond memories of the trip home to Galway with my 240.. Flew to Birmingham on a Sunday morning, collected the car and struck off for Holyhead.. Lost brakes 40 miles in, ( sticking caliper boiling the brake fluid ) freed it out with minimal tools and the kind assistance of a passer-by, ended up doing the rest of the drive on the handbrake... Adventure indeed!

For Sussex, read Suffolk.

I hope the new owner will arrive here soon too. Well done.

Oops, my mistake, still a good sized journey though. Glad both parties are pleased with the outcome.
