Motor home

An attempt was made to purchase a perfect, small, second hand motor home with very little mileage on the clock - however it all went downhill from there when it became obvious that no UK Insurance company will  provide insurance for someone who does not have a permanent UK address, and does not hold a current UK driving licence and has done so for up two or three years. To my disgust, age came into as well.
We even tried an Insurance broker who confirmed that I would not get the necessary insurance for the road tax (Our Compulsary Third Party).

It was with enormous shock and regret that I had to terminate the sale.

My family has been tremendously supportive and I have been encouraged to form a Plan B which I will attempt to do.

On Thursday I pick up a hire car, which I achieved with no difficulty whatsoever, and my first goal will be Fernhurst in Sussex where a number of our Hope family lived or stayed for 30 years or so.
