Not got any B&O 'one minute too late' stories, but got another one..
I was offered by the widow of the late, great comedian Les Dawson his old 1972 E-Type Jaguar. Bright Red, 40,000 miles, pristine, garaged, loads of photos of him with it, unrestored (i'm getting upset thinking about this..), and utterly beautiful. This car was like new..
I couldn't get together the money in a hurry at the time, and was about £2,500 short. I said i would get the rest of the money the next day and come to get it, but couldn't make any promises.
I got the money together and called her the next day, only to be told she had by sheer fluke mentioned it to some dinner guests the night before, and the husband immediately wrote her a cheque for it.
Price..
£15,000.
Gutted.. I just didn't have the money at the time 🙁
