Wow, in the post Brexit world, would he have had to pay 20% VAT to the Treasury on top of the £115 million purchase price to import it into the UK?

Only 5% VAT, I believe...

If there's one thing Lord JCB and I share, it's our collection of largely similar cars....

That beautiful Aston is such an unusual colour it made me think that I recognise it.

It was in our hotel in Soissons six weeks ago:

Yes, it was a Pantera.

No exaggeration to say that if you stood close by when it was running you could feel the ground vibrating!

I liked the irony of it being parked in an electric charging bay!

I’m guessing that’s not the Ibis Soissons, any particular reason (except expensive) why there are so many nice classics, at the hotel?

One of the great joys of owning a Pantera is feeling the earth vibrating and the thunder clap coming out of the engine bay 6" behind your ears. Have had mine for 30 years.
By the way, nice pickup of guessing the car was a Pantera from so little view, but that rear end is quite distinctive.

It was the Hotel des Francs and we were all there for the Laon Historique.
