Thanks for the comments. Andy is a lovely fella and I've no doubt in my mind that he will take great care of it which is what I really wanted.

It's gutting for me to have to part with this car. I know I've been in this situation before but I always found a way to keep it but unfortunately not this time.

A tear will no doubt be shed when Andy visits again to take it away.

I'd also like to say a big thank-you to this forum and its members who have helped me out at some point since I joined. Please don't demote me from GREEN until the car has left my driveway
