We got back from our trip today and there was a nice present on the doorstep
Toby one of the prior owners had commented that there was a folder of information that went with Katy (was that Florence as another name in the paperwork?)
John the guy we bought from said when I contacted him that he thought he still had it, but it would take some finding, but we got an email in the week and now here is all that wonderful history THANKS John!
There is lots to read and think about, but the 1st item is the mileage
A number of people have said she looks good underneath for her miles and we now have some facts to look at.
According the the MOT certificates in 2008 she had done 90k and in 2009 she had done 142k that's 52k in one year a figure I almost consider impossible other than for a commercial travelling vehicle which Katy is clearly not
I may never get to the bottom of this mystery
Another key document in the pack is the disposal (Cast) form from the military, it's interesting on this that she's listed as a non runner, but complete. I had presumed that the move to a TDi engine was for running cost, but it may have been for more practical reasons that the V8 was not working
