Bit of trivia. The Wentworth was so named because the Volvo PGA Championship was held every year at Wentworth Golf Club.

Golf is boring by the way.

Just taken it up.  It's addictive.

I think the logo on the side includes an outline of Guernsey, if it started its life there it would explain why it wasn't registered in the UK until it was six years old.
There have been no changes of keeper since it was registered in the UK, so it's been in the same ownership since at least 1999, possibly since it was new.
