Let me guess; wife has car, old man has flown the coup with the blonde from the office. She wanted half of everything, he has left her with the car which she insisted on having because she knew he was rapt in it and now it's payback time.
Heard of a similar thing a few years back when a similar thing happened, but in that case daddyo had bought the bimbo a new wagon and his will stated that she could have the car or its value, so the embittered wife (who didn't know the bit on the side existed until the old boy fell off the perch) was told by the legal eagles she had to sell the car for what she could get for it and send the cash along with the receipt for the sale via him back to the girlfriend, so she sold a car worth around $16,000 for $260 of which, the solicitor took $250 fpr admisistration costs.
Nobody's going to try that hard to get a crappy price unless there's some background story like that.

By the time you're old enough to know it all, you can't remember why you were learning.

I agree with Tom (although I liked Alan's near-synopsis of the plot of "La Spagnola", which also has one of the funkiest cooking scenes in cinematic history), we know BX owners and members of this forum in particular are borderline obsessive-compulsives. A more rational member of the car-driving public will just tell it like it is. But they'll miss all the romance and mystery and er.... that's it.
Now, can I fit an estate outside my house? What if I tell SWMBO that it's to hold all the spare parts, tools etc and that she can have the cellar....(thinks...)
