No problem in directing my post to other people.

As to the Volvo issue, Mercedes bought only a short while ago a vehicle from
a taxi driver that has covered 4.6 m kilometers! It is now standing in the
DC museum in Stuttgart as living proof of their products' quality.

I think Ulrico has made some very good points and it would be a good idea to
get your letter published in The Legend, so as to get some wider coverage
amongst the membership - or at least the Chairman etc, so as they could
perhaps push the idea more with Ford.

Thinking of Ford, I remember reading in a classic car magazine a few years
ago about Volvo making grants available to owners of vintage Volvo's who
were prepared to restore them. Now since Volvo are also part of Ford, I
wonder if we could get them to make grants available to us Series One owners
to help with maintenance and running costs - after all, what better
advertisement is there than hundreds of old Land Rovers still running around
on the roads. Perhaps Ford could start with grants for Series Ones to
coincide with the 60th Anniversary celebrations, and maybe then cover the
Series Twos for the 70th and Series Threes next etc .....

Or maybe I had too much beer last night and am still dreaming......
