Private sale is the only way to get top price, then you have the joy of tyre kickers etc.  I px'd my GS and got a low price but it was hassle free which to me can be better than money!

I did like it, after all we did a 2.5k road trip in it.  It's just that the V8 bug is hard to shift.  Also I love the amount of interior space.  Plus I'm probably an idiot!

That's true, having a rare car is nice.

Me thinks that your actions are wise and considered.You are doing what you want to do because you can Phil. Continue to enjoy.

Life is a one  way ticket with no possibility of a return being  purchased.

True enough, and for some reason the last part of your comment made me think of Southern Rail!!😀

Have a great time. I wish my wife would give in and let us go for a driving holiday down to Andalucia.

Between towns and cities Mike, the roads are like Sunday mornings 50 years ago.Just you on the road.

Civility still exists and the Toll roads are very quiet especially at weekends when lorries are discouraged.

Do not tell your wife, but mine flies, having been with me on 2 occasions and she has sworn never to do it again.Life can be pretty boring sitting in the passenger seat for hours on end.

I must say I enjoy being a passenger, happily let my wife drive up to Chester or down to Cornwall.

As to Andalucia, my wife hates me driving in Spain on those quite roads.  I love the A369 from Gaucin to Ronda, but the missus panics that I'll end up going off the road, as no traffic and a nice bunch of sweeping bends to 'whizz' through as well as some lovely reverse curves as well.

I think if I was to drive all the way to Spain, the wife would have murdered me before we got to be half way through France, probably the boredom setting in, and she just wishing she was their.

Have talked about driving to Picos de Europa sometime, but maybe flights and hire car safer for the marriage!!

Pete, I choose to take 4 days for the 1600 mile drive. A holiday (for me) prior to the holiday, so to speak.

My wife now refuses to drive with me, so she flies and I collect her , usually from Granada airport. Plus an advantage of driving is that I do not need to hire a car for 10/12 weeks and I can pack more wine into my Estate car than I can pack into an Easyjet overhead locker!

You really should try driving to Northern Spain..
