It would be interesting to know the serial number of the 250GTE chassis
in question. Lord Brocket sold a 250GT to someone from Microsoft which
was later discovered to be a 250 GTE. That car was IIRC exported in late
1995 or early 1996 which would mean that the date of Liability in 1996
would indicate export between 01/11/95 and 01/11/96.

If that was the car in question it was significant, because the police
used that sale to push Brocket into yet another fraud charge to bring
pressure on him to admit his previous.

Tesco's with the red Mini Marcos outside is taken from an episode of
"The Saint". Roger Moore is just arriving in the Volvo P1800, ST1.

There's another shot taken a bit later from the other side he

Didn't they reckon he had destroyed several classic cars as part of the scam?

This is the most powerful sigfile in the world and will probably blow your
head clean off.

The basic scam was a "theft", with the cars claimed to be stolen actually
being chopped up. The bodies were disposed of, the mechanicals were
"hidden". Insurance got suspicious, and investigated.

Cut them up and buried them, intending to dig them up and restore them
later one assumes.

Marvellous! Waves of nostalgia. 1966 - I was 21, a freelance
photographer working from a basement in Queens Gate Mews, running a
Ferrari. Where did it all go wrong...?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Rob saying
something like:

My first truck back then was a Morris Minor Ute with a 1100 motor, then
in 1967 bought a Rustin Freely Sprite 3A.

Oh yes, my first encounter with a Sprite was at the Glasgow Car Auctions
when a Sprite headlamp, along with the front of the wing, detached
itself and dangled freely at ankle height as I brushed past it. I think
it went for a tenner in the end.

MG Magnette ZA for me. God I loved that car.


Very sad....but at least...
