It came in on a low loader, and it was deceased spec, and apparently...

the deceased man's wife said i don't want this car i hate it and i don't want anyone else to own it take it to the scrapyard but it was absolutely immaculate right the scrap man i said to the scrap man what are you doing with that car because it looks amazing and i looked around it he went yeah yeah he told me that story and i went you've got to sell it i said i'll i said i'll buy it and he looked at me and he said well i've got the v5 in my hand i haven't filled it out of scrap yet

And I said, I'll buy it off you now.

And he said, take it now for 250 quid.

And I did.

Fast forward half a year, I sold that car to a guy who was in the US Air Force over here in Norfolk.

When I say over here, I mean in the UK.

I don't live in Norfolk.

And he got posted back to California about a year later, and he took that car with him.

So he has a yellow Volkswagen right-hand drive Derby in Cali.

Wow.

And his name is Eric.

I haven't spoken to Eric in years, but I hope you're all right, Eric.

So there's that.

And I sold my Mark I Granada to an American guy who drove it to Greece, which I knew he was doing.

Yeah.

Sweet, sweet guy.

Lovely guy.

But unfortunately, what I didn't know, and he sent me some photos about two years later, is that he barrel rolled it in Greece.

And so and he still has the car.
