Welcome to the sohc community LC
Interesting boomerang ownership history.

I've only ever owned one vehicle twice, a Mini Cooper from 1974 to 1984, I asked the buyer to give me first refusal when he wanted to sell it. I bought it back in 1989 sold it 6 months later as I was strapped for cash, wish I still owned it.

It still exists on DVLA it was listed as Multi-Coloured now back to the original Battleship Grey.
