"As a buyer, I would have liked to have known. I suppose anything you buy, you can't really know the history - but that's quite a major history, isn't it?"
He planned to tell his wife about the car on the quiet, but would make sure his grandchildren didn't know, he said. His daughter wanted to buy the car off him, he added, and he would tell her about it too.

Nothing too dramatic but I received an early hours 'home visit' from the boys in blue back in 2006. They never got as far as knocking (or kicking in?) my door as my dog had heard noise and was barking so I went out to investigate (thankfully without picking up anything to defend myself with!). My old pickup had been involved in a 'gun crime' in London - never did find out exactly what. I'd actually part exchanged the truck towards a van at a main dealer so the paperwork had gone wrong somewhere along the lines.

It's still around, it lives in Northamptonshire somewhere. If you look on YouTube at Danny Dyers Deadliest men with Bernard O'Mahonney it is in that. One of the people in the background owns it. Rumour has it, when the murders happened there was finance owning on it, so the finance company sold it in auction.I was offered a Porsche with a pretty grim past a few years ago but I didn't want anything to do with it. I'm fairly pragmatic about all these things-I don't believe in jinxes or bad luck or anything-but I simply thought I wouldn't be able to look at the car without thinking about all the crap that was associated with it.
Pretty sad story all round.

I was once in a garage where the owner showed me a 1970s Maserati he had at the back of the workshop.
He asked me what was unusual about it. It was easy. Right hand drive but US spec with orange lights etc.
As I was sitting in the drivers seat he told me it had been ordered by an American Pimp who wanted RHD so he could chat to his girls more easily.
He was later shot dead in the car.
It had found its way to the UK because it was RHD.
What happened to Princess Diana's S-Class? last I heard it was in a container in the UK as evidence for the inquest. It must still exist.
President Kennedy's car was put back into service I think. It got given a roof and was retired from use I guess. In the 1970s.
And bigger stuff involved in tragedies? The 7/7 tube train and bus? I know the loco involved in the Hatfield and Selby crashes got given a new number and is still in service.
