* 25 October, 2004 I drove the car to my Mother's house in Gaggenau, Germany reason being my sister who was suffering with cancer, could no longer care continuously for my mother who then moved to a Senior Care Home. As a none-German resident I could not insure nor tax the Mercedes in Germany.
* Therefore the car was registered RA 07000 in my cousin's name Hans-Joachim Wunsch, a German resident. He insured and taxed the car in his name (the car was always garaged near Baden-Baden Airport) and every 4 or 6 weeks after my sister's death in February, 2009 I flew to Baden-Baden to take my Mother for leisurely drives during the week.
