a post to say today was a sad say in the gillberry house hold, as today i sold my sceptre it is quite strange really as we bought her from Barnet and she is heading back that direction to with a man who has had one for 30 years and his is now too far gone to save. it was a spur of the moment thing. It all started with getting a bigger classic caravan the end of last year, the Cheltenham Nyala is bigger than the Fawn (which we sold a couple of weeks ago) and Simon had been looking for a classic estate to tow the nyala with (not telling me he was looking) then he came across a volvo amazon estate, made the decision that was what he wanted as it was a 68 the same age as the caravan, so along came the practical talk well my sceptre would never tow the nyala, his sd1 is two new so he picked some ones elses brains went and saw the amazon and home it came, so at the moment we are clearing out the cars the first to go was the sceptre then his sd1. The spare sceptre we will list on ebay in the next few weeks when we can get it down the drive and into the front garden again then the HA and we will just stick with the one car and van. it does make sense as we can both spend out on one rather than several, but it was making the decision to do it that came hard, well to me it did. some time in the summer we will have to go all through all the sheds to see what spares are lurking which could take weeks as i think there are still spares in there from when we had the firenzas and mk1 astra
Here are the two of them in happier days
the new arrival
So i am on here to wish all you sceptre owners and sceptres out there all the best and happy motoring
Jayne & Simon
