Goodbye dear Bella

It’s going to be the end of an era when this little beauty goes under the hammer at the end of the month.

I’ll be writing in my People’s Friend column about my adventures in Bella over the last 20 years.

Twice, we’ve been in this special car across the continent to Greece, along with trips to France.

She’s a joy to drive and a real head-turner.

I’ve never been one for giving a car a name but this one became Bella when we drove down through Italy to Greece. People we passed shouted: ‘Bella, bella!’

Sad to see her go after 20 years but I don’t use her any more and it’s high time she had a bit of joy and excitement in her life. The auction is on 30 April.

Fingers crossed she finds a lovely home.
