Motorist Mike Harrison is still driving
his first car, 54 years after paying £150 for
it. The 74-year-old was 20 years old when he bought
the black Bentley sports coupe in 1956 after passing
his test. Now it is one of only three left in the country
and valued at £250,000. The retired advertising
executive, of Whitney-on-Wye, Hertfordshire, said the
car 'has been my best friend and part of my family all
my life'. The 1931 classic, which still runs like clockwork,
had done 137,000km (85,000 miles) when he bought it
and has clocked up 161,000km (100,000 miles) since.
Mr Harrison courted his wife Jenny in it during the
early 1960s.
