Are you thinking of Elmsleigh Invacar, 2B Armstrong Road Manor Trading Estate Benfleet Essex SS7 4PW. There is only one, and they don't want to part with it as it has special meanings for them. www.elmsleigh-invacar.co.uk/index.html  |

Make sure it's one of the few that were privately purchased and actually owned by an individual, not one of the ones that are still government property.
Sooner or later they will be demanding then back for scraping (or more likely sale to collectors or museums with an under taking they will never be used on the road).
The more publicity these things get the more likely it is to happen, if one were involved in a serious RTA I can see the insurers refusing point blank to ever issue cover on them again as the owner must have been aware they were withdrawn from service due to serious safety concerns leading to the scraping of the fleet rather than sale to the public. After all there was considerable pressure for users to be able to buy their own one back but they were absolutely refused, the gov actually paid to get rid of the things such was their concern.
