Ahhh - so thats where all these cars you buy end up. Nice collection!

Does the owner have any more SW's? Is that just the white room (apart from the yellow car)?

Cool. I've been in that car. Also Phil spilled beer in it.

Stupid question but why would you MOT and tax it if you are just going to take it out of the country on a transporter?

I've been following Sabrina on instagram for ages.

It's a shame about the punitive, callous laws in Germany about mods. That car is a very good candidate for resto, though.
