Janis says:

Dr Livingstone is selling his car.
Prior to buying this one, he sold his RR Sport (I couldn't sit in the passenger seat and then get out of it in a civilized and orderly fashion) and needed a good, reliable car for driving long distances. So last year we went out for test drives in all kinds of classy vehicles.
He ended up buying the Mercedes E 320.
I fell asleep during the first little spin. Heaven. But Dr "I've been driving Range Rover since 1986" Livingstone was looking at the afore mentioned off roaders again within a few weeks of the acquisition of the Merc.
So we've been driving around looking at Ranges again.
So in a nutshell: if anyone would like to take it off our hands: send me a message with your email address and details (comments are moderated, so if it contains private info, I won't publish) and I'll give the Dr's contact details.

In the immortal words of Janis Joplin:

Oh Lord, wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
