Just what I was thinking Ruben.
Strange folk in the South of England - I've heard some of them change their underwear EVERY day, whether they need to or not!

It's a fair question to ask. The reasons are:
1. I'm changing from 35,000 miles to 12,800 miles.
2. I'm getting the top version, with the DVD players that my family would really like.
3. I'm getting the nicest D4 that I can get my hands on, in the colours we wanted, now that they are no longer being made.
4. The deal offered made financial sense.
5. With Land Rover no longer making anything I would choose to buy, this means I can hang on to a D4 for that bit longer!
Hope that explains why we've done it 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!
