Aha - well spotted hammo - on both counts! This vehicle has been with the dealer since Q1 2020, and the prospective purchaser simply didn’t follow up and take the car - due to lock downs etc. So when I was enquiring about another FE or equivalent I was lucky enough to secure this one. Presume it must be among the last of the pure petrol T5s? None of that lower CO2 hybrid caper here.

PJM007 - now that's a familiar name! Think that you had one of the earliest FE's in Bursting Blue. New T5 Inscription - good choice!

I'm just an occasional lurker here these days but I've still got mine (one of the first in the UK). I'll probably keep it until it is eligible for a scrappage scheme when we are all obliged to use battery operated cars.

What tempted you back into the XC40 fold?

I remember that name balmoral! Yes - see my sig below for the FE history. How has your T5 been? Any tips on fine tuning the performance, ride etc. Drive mode settings? Were you ever tempted to consider the Polestar upgrade?

If you recall, I sold the FE for an actual real £££kkk profit after six months. The deal was too good to refuse, and I downsized in car size as I didn’t need an SUV any longer at that time. Always liked the whole package though.

So - come the New Year - same scenario in reverse - looking for a fully loaded spec (maybe second hand FE?) but this new Inscription Pro with every extra (including Active 4-C!) was miraculously available with a very good discount deal and including part-ex on my Beamer.

I now expect to keep this one until, as you, obliged to go electric.
