ex highways agency vehicle who would have done the majority of kms and probably didn't pass on the reciepts.
We've done around 300 miles since getting him, and yes they havent included the invoices, the book pack, the service manual, the tools, the jack...but all being sourced and sorted over the next few weeks...got the jack and tools to collect next week, our LR gave us the pack/wallet ect
