It had already done 85,000 miles and he has since driven it a further 100,000, yet the car still runs like clockwork.It is now one of only three left in the country and is worth 250,000. Despite its value, Mr Harrison, 74, says he would never sell the car “which has been my best friend and part of my family all my life”.Mr Harrison courted his wife Jenny in it during the early sixties and it was their family car when children Caroline, now 46, and Ben, 42, came along.
