    Fascinating BigDave. Just 4 quarters between those 2 price lists and the choice had dropped from 4,000 cars to 2,000 all thanks to a knee jerk reaction to an inaccurate press article. As we know, it has dropped even further since to less than 1,700.  Very sad.

    If I was the new CEO of Motability Operations I would be massively increasing the choice and then going after the two-thirds of disabled people who are eligible to join the scheme but choose not to. A proportion of those must surely be going down the private route as they cannot get the cars that they want through the scheme. We are in very PC times now and even the Daily Mail may now think twice about bashing disabled people.
