That actually happened in the 60s,a buisnessman ran off with his secretary on an overseas trip so the wife sold the new benz for one pound to a guy who put the bid in as a joke,a week later the doorbell rang ,sir your car is here,sure enough the car was his for a quid.
We see that as a joke, well it actually happened here in Adelaide quite a few years ago when the same thing happened. He told his ex to sell his E type Jag that was nearly new & his pride & joy. She advertised it in the Saturday car specials ads in the Advertiser for 200.00. pounds, This guy was sure that it was a misprint, but went to look anyway, got told the story & he bought it. You can imagine the Ex's response.
