Nice looking vehicle. Sorry for the cynicism, but I wouldn’t call a Dodge Caravan an upgrade over your Disco.

Thank you! It was intended to be entirely sarcastic. I should have used “upgrade” :roll:

Will miss the car, but in all the years I’ve owned it I haven’t done much with my Series cars, and that’s where I want to focus what precious free time I have!

I know what you mean. After I got my P38 and D2 I found I wasn’t using the 2A much at all anymore. I also needed to downsize by one and I sold the 2A last year.
