Interesting celebrity cars
Discussion
I remember (it was before the days of phones with cameras) driving into the village in North Norfolk where my parents lived at the time and seeing an elderly chocolate brown Rolls Royce parked near the village shop.
One of the first things the old man asked me after I crossed the threshold was "Do you know a band called Oasis?". Turned out they'd decided to spend Christmas with Noel Gallagher's in laws, who lived in the next village over.

I cant find any pictures worthy, but when I went round the aston factory in the early 90s Roger Stowers told us that Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, as well as being boxing rivals also started a very expensive game on one-upmanship with their Astons. The cost of work help them keep afloat in the early 90s recesion when- i think they made 17 cars one year before the DB7, so the profit from works service was essential.

Since leaving Chelsea ,he's played for 5 more clubs ,so perhaps moving his car collection is a bit of a bind.
They were all stored in Paris after he left the UK, until they finally got sold off. Old Engelbert enjoys the fruits of his labours...

Liam Howlett from the Prodigy posted here a while back talking about his Mclaren F1 and he might have had a Ferrari F40 as well but my memory is bad.
IIRC, he discussed (sadly briefly) his:Mclaren F1
Pagani Zonda
F40 (which he sold to Keith Flint, who crashed it into a tree)
AC Cobra
He had a thing for American Muscle cars and was going through the purchase of a Dodge Charger I think.
