Rental car companies didn&#8217;t like the idea of a one way rental so we asked Henry Reed who was organising the &#8220;Raid&#8221; if he knew of any SMs for sale and we ended up with a Canadian delivered car (Euro lights) . Henry who we had never met organised the purchase of the car and had it checked over for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
