I have two like that. I think it is the soft plastic mixed with sunlight. The card instruction insert also gets damp and sticks to the plastic.
Any chance of someone doing a scan of the card if they have a good one and posting it??

Hosties cars are never under cover at gatwick. I should know, I used to wax the wifes and one spell parked up at gatwick and the avgas just stripped the thing again! :x Thank the lord she's now at Heathrow where it is under cover.

I may evenm know your cars previous owner! Wifes flown for BA for over 20 years now.

Mines mint too by the way
