He should have done time just for cutting the cars up never mind the insurance fraud.

If you read the book, there was definately method to his maddness. You will also find he did not cut them up, they were dismantled, and stored ready for use later as he couldn't couldn't bear to have them crushed as his accomplices had urged him to do!

Sunday Times said:
The Maserati Birdcage and the Ferrari 195 both had aluminium bodies and came to pieces most easily. The Ferrari 250 Europa and 340 America Cabriolet had steel bodies that had to be removed, cut into smaller sections and flattened. The frames were cut up and dumped. Caswell wielded the angle grinder, Gwyther and I scooped up the parts. We tried not to think about what we were doing.


Well they didnt cut up the engine or interior just everything else...

If they could get the parts into storage so they could be rebuilt why couldnt they just get the whole cars into storage somewhere?

I agree with Jon, much as I love my Murcie if my ancestral home was on the line that had been in my family for generations and I thought I could get out of it, out would come the angle grinder ha ha! He did what he had to do. I like him. Got a lot of balls to do what he did then bounce back

Indeed he was one & the same.

Though why a convicted Insurance fraudster who has served time C/O Her Majesty is considered to be a "celebrity" I know of not.

What next, Peter Sutcliffe on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".
