Gordon Ramsay shows off super-car worth £1m at dinner with wife Tana
BANGERS & Cash star Derek Mathewson has built up an incredible collection of classic cars over the years - including a host of gorgeous Aston Martins.With numerous motors coming in and out of Derek’s famed auction house, the cars in the petrolhead’s personal collection sport a sticker in the rear window that reads ‘Mathewsons Ltd, Bedfordshire’ to distinguish them from the ones up for sale.
“Often by the time I’d finished it was the last car in the car park – you’d find that pretty worrying now.”One of the longest-serving cars in Derek’s collection, it’s also one of five Aston Martins - which Derek admits is one of his favourite brands.5 cheapest NEW cars in the UK - including Top Gear favourite for under £14k“They can drive you a bit crazy, though, they’re not as well built as they’d like you to think.
“They were the poor relation for a long time, but I think it’s between this and the DB4GT Zagato for the title of prettiest Aston.”Finally, under a cover sits a DB9 Volante, which is perhaps a little too contemporary for his liking.In contrast to his love of Astons, Derek also has a passion for classic British commercial motors - especially from brands like Morris, Austin and Bedford.
That includes two Morris J-type vans - which were built to be used as pick-up trucks, ambulances, milk-floats and ice cream vans.“They have absolutely nothing on them that they don’t need, either.He said: “The Bentley was very much a car that found me – as part of a pair, actually.“He was especially upset about the idea that they were going to be split up, because they’d been a pair in his ownership for about four decades.
“Unfortunately, I just had to tell him: ‘Whoever buys them, buys them; there’s nothing I can do about it.’”DO NOT SWEAR!
