There was a new massive garage with 3 huge electric doors. he opened them with his remote controller and inside he had a one off Aston Martin DB7 ( i think that was the model ) that had been hand built just for the Motor Show. He told me when he saw it and asked if it was for sale he was told NO it will stay at Aston Martin, Any way the upshot of it was he Somehow bought it for a lot of money. He also had a De-Tomaso mid engined V8,Lotus Elan 2+2 and an AC Cobra. The garage had a tiled floor ,heating , lighting and high security alarm system. All the cars were immaculate but he was definitely a bit eccentric as inside his very big house his kids were playing with free running chickens and rabbits. There was straw on the floors and chicken poo everywhere.There was realy expensive furniture with chickens all over it! He didnt seem to worry about the mess and he did buy his windows and doors from me.
When I went round the back to measure there was a nearly new Bentley parked up completely covered in mud and shit. I was suprised and he noticed me looking at it and said "oh thats just my runaround which I use around the farm" To him a £130,000 Bentley was not special!! His "special cars were the ones in his big garage.
