Strange topic I know but I'm working on the PR side of the PistonHeads Show and would like to know if any of you own or used to own a car that previously belonged to a celebrity?

Photos and stories are more than welcome! Thanks

I know a bloke who knows a bloke who owns Moira Stuart's Countach, Norman Wisdom's Zonda, Mel Gibson's Toyota Corolla and Mickey Dolenz's 1927 Tatra Type 12. But I think he's full of shlt.

Also....apparently our Range Rover Sport was owned by a footballer called Danny Murphy. I haven't clue who he is, but the dealer mentioned it when he dropped the car off.

Indeed years ago a yamaha tzr that was owned by a certain John Osbourne and a Viper from the Sultan of Brunei (want a pic?)

Both bought by co-incidence, cannot see the point in paying a premium.

The ex evo 550 fezza is for sale at the morgan dealer round the corner, on behalf of hamster of tg fame - guess he bought the aeromax thing
