Idiot with lots of money.

 

[Skd884]

Cheap, next time it sells it fetches £1m+

 

[E55BOF]

I wouldn't be surprised. There are a lot of idiots out there.

 

[Charliecloud]

£650 + 12.5% buyers premium = £731,250. UK buyer ? - maybe just a front man. Still madness

I saw the headline on this thread and thought it was discussing a very expensive lady of negotiable virtue

In fairness, it's not the boring white that all the others were painted

A good respray would cost around £4k though!

Did you think that you bought it for £650?

 

[Darrell]

I wonder if the money has been transferred.

Cast Iron investment for somebody who is almost definitely not a petrol head.

It’s quite good value when you consider Prince Andrew paid nearly £12million for his Escort. (Allegedly).

Was it not suggested that it was bank of mum and dad that paid the 12 mil ?

Does it matter? It was a bloody joke.

Definitely not a greedy, gold-digging bitch who'd spent the money she made from suing Geoffrey Epstein, and wanted some more, egged on by greedy, gold-digging American lawyers. The claim was carefully timed to cause maximum embarrassment.

If only Prince Andrew hadn't agreed to that cringe-making interview with Emily Maitlis, he might have had some credibilty, but he did, and he hadn't. "I don't sweat..." No wonder the Palace was appalled by the whole thing. FFS, man, how could you be so stupid...

Well, that's what I think, as Sister Wendy would have said.

I wonder how much of the award the lawyers kept? Quite a lot, I suspect.

Fully aware it was a joke perhaps someone can come up with a follow up involving the Queen .....

If only they could……

Apart from his stint is the Falklands has he ever had any credibility?

I suspect that probably the happiest period of his life was when he was just another gash shag 'driver, airframe' on the squadron, well thought-of and popular there, and not because he was royal, and in the early years of his marriage; Sarah Ferguson was just the sort of lively, sparky, larky red-headed Sloane prat that would appeal to the average gash shag Navy pilot. Being a 'Royal' has been the ruin of both of them, really.
