I enquired about having Lanoguard done, and was told it needs doing every 12 months.

Does this ring a bell? I also came to yours to buy a factory P/S setup for it off you.

How do, Julian? I'm still driving the Caravelle that you once told me belonged to a mate of yours. It's just had a back-to-bare-metal resto. It's hard to believe it's been nearly twenty years since I bought it.
