Default Merlin has gone !
I have a Merlin sized empty space in my garage.

No I havent sold him
No he hasnt been stolen - or at least I hope he isnt

Yesterday I took Merlin to the Haynes International Motor Museum in Sparkford Somerset as they asked me if I could loan them Merlin for 2 months.

They are having a Mini 50th Birthday display and Merlin will be one of the cars on display. The display will be on from the weekend of the 18th July and runs for 2 months - I have already started to bite my finger nails while he is away.

Oh wow that is a lot of trust leaving your car with someone else for 2 months, still absence makes the heart grow fonder as they say!

Almost forgot he will be on display in the Merlin room - coincidence or what?

Thats good, what a nice thing to have happen! XJS Covertible looks nice.
