Very tidy, Al, especially if all the toys are still in working order  :y

I'm afraid I would balk at that mpg and £695 road tax, though.

Discovered that Mercedes offers service plans for vehicles up to 20 years old and will honour plans that expire after 20 years old...

As an example, mine is currently 16 3/4s... Take out a 3 year plan now, and renew it with a four year plan in 2026 and enjoy a further 4 years servicing and MoTs. At the end of which it will be 24 :o

Not sure if £600 a year represents good value or not, although it does include time due items such as brake fluid, coolant and spark plugs :-\
