Scottish Elises

I like the guy especially with his huge interest in cars.
He mentioned today that's he's bidding for a Fiat van "with history" at a Paris auction in February.
Can't find any info on it.
Just curious really. Anyone know what he's talking about?

Good find!

More money than sense

A rusty, Belgian FIAT 900 van with some Ferrari stickers From that golden era of FIAT manufacturing

Jeez, these Bonham chaps could sell sand to the arabs

Ye but not just any old sand, it would have history

Some nice cars in the auction, couple of highlights,

Always fancied an Alfa Montreal since I had one as a Matchbox model. Must however be red for me:

His two books are worth a read, very entertaining. He freely admits he went off the rails.

The mans also got taste, last year he bought an immaculate red Elan +2S from Paul Matty, and rates it in the "top 5 of cars he has owned" ! Says he has already covered over 3,000 miles since he bought it!

A man of taste? Anyone who buys a bunch of classic Ferraris and paints them all white has no taste whatsoever or any appreciation of classic cars. Its like he gone through a google list of the worlds coolest cars and just bought them all.
Willy waver of the highest order.

I did love The big breakfast and dont forget your toothbrush and but that was cheesy fun, just like his car collection.

I think his children in need money can't buy offer every year for members of the public to drive all his cars to Goodwood is fantastic, it shows how he actually likes to use the cars and not just have them sitting about gathering dust.

As someone more amusing than me commented, "Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend"
