Happy motoring!
Hello Steve,
We met some time ago when you visited me in Westminster as you were thinking of selling the Brigand/Britannia. It was only my extraordinary height which prevented me buying which was a shame.
You showed me pictures of your 410 with its sumptuous leather in a green that the superstitious Anthony Crook would probably never have approved of.
I hope you are keeping well.
