Car swap - who wants an AMG Merc for 3 months?
Discussion
Forgot to post pic of the Defender on duty in 2013-14 winter in the Alps:

That car took me to the top of the mountains in the middle of the night to indulge a photography hobby, where I got shots like the one below. A small baby may put paid to that element of the trip this time...

DSC_0052.jpg by baconrashers, on FlickrHarry the Cayenne has Isofix, had it for just short of 2 years and other than some minor work to sort a couple of things when we first bought it, it hasn’t missed a beat. It’s black with black leather, Xenons, heated seats front and back, heated steering wheel etc
It was great in the snow last year too, even on snow covered gravel and out drive is fair steep. Garage, locked gates etc here too.

I think I'm in the same borough as you and my wife should be amenable to another AMG for a little while. 
It's a 2008 Cayenne S, on air suspension and recently fitted with M+S-rated Yoko Geolander tyres:
It has been the family car with 2 young kids for about 3 years. It has high miles because the previous owner used it to bomb down through France. We've used it for an annual summer holiday into central France too. As an ex-demo the spec is decent, except no heated seats! We use a sheepskin in winter.

Ooh...yes! M&S Geolanders are a big bonus, as tyres matter as much as the car in those conditions.It's a 2008 Cayenne S, on air suspension and recently fitted with M+S-rated Yoko Geolander tyres:

Muncher - definitely interested, and the locked gates are a big bonus!It was great in the snow last year too, even on snow covered gravel and out drive is fair steep. Garage, locked gates etc here too.

How about my Inbetweeners shagwagon?
kers!!Honestly, the locals survive up there perfectly well in cars like this on snow tyres. They laugh at us Brits in our big 4x4s...
I wouldn't recommend it for your drive though, however if you do need someone to look after the AMG then I'd like to offer myself! I promise to replace the rear tyres before you get back.
