I see its got the sagging-roof-syndrome like mine, but that split will be easy enough to fix. Not sure I could live with the gold quilting

Note to Chauffeur:

Smithers, I note that the roof of one's Portafold is showing signs of having pattered up and down a bit in the 80mph breeze that rattled through one's country seat, last night - better keep the old Bentley below 75 next time we tow the Portafold down to Henley, what.
