Are you saying the Toyota is "189, actually" or the Mondeo?

Because if it's the former, can you go and tell these people that

Yet there were SUV bodies with AWD that would not have been liable for
Ken's silly ВЈ25 tax (now thankfully abolished), while there would have
been "normal cars" that would have been, which makes nonsense of the
