Two of the drivers had conspired to take over these assets for no payment to me and
during the time I was organising the auction sale of my worldly goods at Ivy House, New
Bolingbroke, they had contrived their plan.

Next Picture Title:
It all had to go, we had no real income and moving costs to find. Christmas would soon be
upon us and we really needed some cash to live on! October 1983.

The scene of the auction at Ivy House, our horse drawn vehicle collection and at the
bottom my last Jaguar, the 1968 “S” type 3.8 with wire wheels.

The day I returned after the auction, they confronted me with wooden clubs and
threatened me most assuredly with physical violence if I did not leave “their” premises
immediately and with no further argument.
In fact I had to take shelter with my neighbour traders on the site and call the police to get
me away. I have never been so close to real violence ever before, certainly never aimed
specifically at myself.

It had been too easy for them. I had informed all my clients of the change and all dealings
with the finance of the lorries had been transferred and finalised.

I was locked out and had not option but to try legal help.

Eventually, Legal aid was granted and my solicitors began negotiations with my “drivers”.
