I heard Dai bought it because it's a bit rough up his way but a bird dropped a brick on the bonnet pre delivery so he rejected it!

If it's been properly armoured, (thick glass, inner door protection, blast plates underneath etc) it'll need all of those 3 litres to get it to move........

Blimey a standard car is nearly 2 Tonnes?
All very strange that one, I've just looked as a Tank on that site for £55K, it's only done 49 miles, bloody bargain

was most likely heading to be a diplomats car, they often have mundane cars to transport people around in.
