Meet Bruce, our Australian late bay in Kalahari Tan (aka reddish-brown) with retro go-faster stripes. He drives wonderfully and will comfortably sit at 60-70 when needed.
He emigrated to the UK in 2016 and has had annual MOTs since then (for piece of mind, though not needed). He currently has a clean MOT with no advisories from Sep 2023. You’ll notice discrepancies in the odometer reading - this is due to the speed being changed from kms to miles in 2018. The current reading says 64000, though we suspect this is inaccurate.
