If you remember a while back a guy called Tim Shaw's wife sold his Lotus Esprit Turbo for 50p because he said he'd leave his wife and marry Jodi Marsh on air on his radio show. Well, with his 50p he has bought himself a new car. Think he did pretty well

Radio DJ bloke Tim Shaw flirted with his callers on his show, his wife got pissed off with it and eBayed his Esprit with a BIN of 50p, it sold, it was legal as the V5 was in her name.

I think that car actually cost him something like 30p, he mentioned that he had change from the 50p

He phoned up the newspapers that reported the story in the first place waying he wanted to buy a car for 50p. They were interested, in fact the car is being featured in 8 magazines. It's going to be on a few TV shows. He phoned up a few car companys and told them that they should sell him car parts for pennys and thier names will be mentioned in the features and on the TV.
