Multi million £ barn find

[Grumpy Northener]

One hell of a find

Ferrari, once sat in by Jane Fonda

The article seems to make a big deal out of that but it wouldn't put me off as upholstery is relatively easy to clean.

Celebrity arses can make mundane things more valuable though. Example: The Vela "Discolite" ghetto blaster as rubbed against by Madonna Ciccone's lady parts - when she sat on it in a sensual way during one of her popular music video performances - was famously sold in a New York memorabilia auction for $732,080, yet a beautifully preserved, mint, boxed and unmarked example of the same model, that had been cared for and seldom used only made £42.50 in a village roup in Rothienorman (Aberdeenshire) in the summer of 1999, failing to make its £45 reserve but sold at the lower figure by negotiation between the high bidder and the original owner.

Aye, there are some lovely things in that France, I wonder whether our Rich has a secret stash of high grade motors?

All you need is Anna Friel's arse print on the seat of the JCB and that's its value up by at least £35.

Just goes to show some people have far too much money.
