Several people have assumed that the car is like a third character in this story. That it [she?] has a personality. The it [he?] needs a name.
When the Prado was purchased from Rob and Robin it was registered YEA in the ACT and was nicknamed Yoda. Because it is a Toy-yoda. And the Star Wars connection is entirely apt. Wise, extra powers, formidable stamina.
But do we grace the car with a name? and what will it be. Suggestions welcome.
And to answer the question about what happens to it when we get to the UK, unless we find someone who wants to turn it around and drive it home, it rides on a ship all the way back… and then gets sold! I know, it will be like losing a friend. But if we do not bring it back, we breach the conditions of the Carnet, and besides it is not going to be an easy car to sell in the UK as the Prado equivalent over there from my quick inquiries has different specs so it would be a bit of an orphan. And they do not like 4WDs in London. And to sell a car in a hurry is not the way to get a decent return!
