Look at that S car go.
The nice man (well, I'm not convinced, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now) has taken my car away. For the princely sum of 70 pounds. That's 70 pounds he's paid me.
Which reduces the urgency of getting to a cash point in order to get through the con weekend.
I'll need to send him the transfer of ownership documents when I get back home (assuming I can find them, and don't need to get new copies sent from the DVLA).
So that's the major headache cleared out of the way. Now I need to
1) Get me home.
2) Get my stuff home (k9, dalek, crate of games, suitcase).
3) sort out replacement transport.
But all of those look manageable, if more hassle than I was expecting. Getting the car moved (either towed or repaired) was looking like a major problem, but that's done. On the down side, it looks as though it's horrifically easy to get rid of a car to which you've got the keys, even if it might not be yours...
