A remarkable coincidence

Sir,

Whilst holidaying at Portsonachan in Argyllshire this summer we returned from fishing one evening to our hotel on the banks of Loch Awe and found, to our amazement, another Volvo 122S.

Although a different colour to ours it bore the registration number 179 BPX and ours is 178 BPX. We bought our car from Rudds of Worthing and had the “Ruddspeed” conversion carried out. 179 BPX had received identical treatment!

We were off fishing again early next morning and never discovered the owners of 179 BPX but surely this was a most extraordinary coincidence because Portsonachan is a very tiny hamlet.
