Default Celebrity linked cars.

Got talking to a mate yesterday and he started to tell me about his brothers 911 SC that he had renovated for him. He told me how he did all the work on it and then it just sat in his brothers garage gathering dust, then a few years later his brother suggested they dig it out and drive to Spain in it to visit their parents. Anyway, my mate thought it was a bad idea due to the fact it had been sitting but in the end agreed and told his brother to get it MOTd which he did. They started looking through the paperwork which came with the car and a lot of it had the name S. Cowell on it so they did some digging and found a picture of Simon Cowell leaning on the bonnet of the Porsche. Apparently he made a fortune and bought this Porsche but then ended up somehow losing his money and had to sell the car. The Porsche dealership got to hear about the car and invited them to bring it in for a free check over and they were amazed at the quality of the workmanship that my friend had done (he sorted out the electrics, interior and a hell of a lot of mechanical issues) and even asked him how he had done some of the jobs without the special Porsche tooling. This is even more of an achievement when you bear in mind that my mate is an engineer by trade not a mechanic.
The trip to Spain and back went without any problems and last week the car was shipped to Australia as his brother is emigrating.

Anybody else got any cars linked to celebrities?
