Ah, so it is! Bit naughty that its SORN'd and parked there, its a railway carpark, so is technically a public road!
Seems 32k was what I saw then Still, 2.5L in something that can't weigh particuarly much will still be great fun I'm sure! Good idea to give the guy a ring. I'm fairly sure he's an old guy, most of the people along that road are 50+
As a side note, your insurance is shit, I pay less than that for mine!
