Hi there, bit of a weird one.
My mum passed away a few weeks back after a long struggle with MS. She was a no-nonsense farming gal from Bromyard and wanted her ashes scattering on top of the Malvern hills (where she was born). We'll be scattering the ashes of her much beloved border collie Sid too. We want to make their last journey in style, in a Land Rover. She loved them. She even rebuilt the engine on our County 110 V8. Started first time. That's just how she rolled.
I've tried to hire a Land Rover for next weekend (3rd-5th June), but all I can find is a utility / panel back 110. It's not really befitting. Here's where I'm looking for some help.
Does anyone know where I can hire a relatively smart (not necessarily new) Land Rover? Or does anyone have one they are happy to 'donate' for a good cause. I'm happy to pay btw - not looking for charity. We need to go from Hinckley in Leicestershire to the Malvern Hills (but not necessarily back) on Saturday 4th. Don't mind picking it up / arranging something weird if needed. Ideally want it so my step dad can drive it, just him and my mum, one last time.
I live in North London if that triggers any thoughts btw. Planning to head up on the Saturday with my family, and then go in convoy on Saturday. Could potentially take something up the from London area?
We already want to make the Saturday a day of humble, no-nonsense celebration but if anyone can help out, you'd make it just that bit more special.
Kind regards
Dino

Your Mum sounds like my kind of girl!
