Got this current article from someone in Northern Ireland who kindly sent me the original feauture and pic from 1986 when Sir Fred originally owned my car! Nice to see they dug up the old pic.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ne...-14634908.h...

Accordingly for the avoidance of doubt:
1. Sir Fred died in august 2008
2. He has not come back from the dead and bought my car off me
3. The car is neither in heaven not hell with him, it's in sunless Scotland!
4. Sadly that isn't me in the pic and i am no where near (-10,000%) worth as much as him!
5. I have never lent money to the DUP
6. Please don't throw bricks at my car when you next see it!
7. I am not Ann Robinsons teenage lover!

Hi there
glad you saw the cat when younger! can you tell me when you think it was ? I spoke to Sir Fred a couple of times about the car and he gave me some history but he was a bit vague about when he sold it to his sons friend.
The car is in glasgow not England!!!!
He didnt do much mileage with the car and when i bought it it had only done 12000km, now done about 20000km
Love the old car!

Fred (not SIR Fred} was the kind old gentleman who gave £25000 to that nice Mrs. Robinson so she could set up her nice toyboy Kirk in business.

I believe he got a knighthood a few years back. i only spoke to him on the phone a couple of times and never met him. He accepted my invite to pass by and see his old car but never came by.
He had good memories of the car. According to people who knw him he used to turn up at building sites in the car and complain to his builders if they took an extra minute on their tea break!
I know nothing of NI politics, but do understand everyone with money and power seems to know everyone else!
If you do searches you will pics of the car recently

I don't believe it, i remember Frazer driving the Countach when i was a teenager. He lived down Hampton Park, South Belfast at the time.
That was some sight in the mid 80's in Belfast!!!!
