In fact its's the same 1999 4.2 V8 he bought back in 2004 with almost 100K on the clock and is now nearer 250K!
I wonder who does his maintenance?
If you don't already have a copy of "The book", you can still get them on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/3768808513 for as little as £2.29 (or as much as £241.99!). A couple listed have autographs too.

If you're interested in '8s, it's a really good read (as well as a nice 'coffee table book').
