Naw he sold it and then bought it back I reckon.
You can take my Frontera out of my cold dead hands.
Neighbour had to scrap his Freelander 'cos the chassis broke....now he's going to fly to the midlands, pay £3,500 for a 1999 Patrol then drive it back ( How much for the diesel? Plus the ferry? And the steering wheel is on the wrong side and always will be. )
Plus it will cost him £300 to register it over here once he has bought new French headlights for about £200 if he is lucky.
He could have bought a low mileage 2005, French registered, British Fronty for £400 over here.
Non registered ones are sometimes given away.
I should go into business.
If you want a French one then you better be friends with your bank manager............ or his mistress.
