According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

What a cracking line-up And with what's being released we'll soon be seeing an LTM12000 line-up!. Oh, and the sun may be shining but watch out for a low flying bird scoot.
