Yep, they sent most of the d5s back.

Not just any old Disco 4 either, it's an Aintree Green one too. What good taste! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

"OXR2" only had 22,900 miles on it at the last MoT. There's no reason to downgrade that one for many years yet 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

I leased a Disco 5 briefly. Was not that impressed with it to be honest and can't blame the Royal Family for sending them back... I love our Disco 4.

There’s nothing to be gained by trading either one in for a design that’s at least 6 years older

The guys eyesight is failing or has failed, he’s probably been told it’s a new D5 and they’ve peddled him off with an old crank snapping D4 that might last longer than him if it’s lucky.
