All of the money (and much more) but this is peak spec http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404228940926

Have rather gone off the idea after watching a bloke struggle to get an admittedly newer FFRR out of Waitrose car park at rush hour, much to the jeering and swearing of fellow road users. Took him all of five minutes.
I tend to prefer small cars (despite my height of 6ft5) anyway - I happily zip around in the 145, and quite fancy a RS Twingo 133 for when it becomes too old for regular use. However, a Rangey is my wife’s long held dream. She’s 5ft3. The irony isn’t lost etc.

That's a Stunning colour combination very nice indeed.

Lovely car, but stupid money.
The Holland and Holland one at auction this weekend should be considerably less, more rare, better finished and a far more sound investment.
BTW, my wife is only about 5.2 and has been happily driving our Rangies for over a decade. And goes to Waitrose nearly everyday as far as I can tell from my Amex bill…

Decided I've waited long enough for the police to do something, sent a recorded delivery letter outlining my costs with 7 days to respond our it's off to the small claims court

Most people ignore the first letter but once the threat of a CCJ appears they start to take notice

yep, some folk think it's an idol threat and don't realise how easy and fairly cheap it is to start an on line small claims court action, done a few in my time and the feckers always paid up including court costs, sounds like you have a cast iron case
