A multi-millionaire Jaguar vehicle enthusiast who owns the former home of the company’s founder was fleeced by a car salesman who sold him a rare E-Type sports car, a court heard.
Scott Shearman paid almost £130,000 to buy the vehicle from Scott Nicolson’s company and to have it restored.
The car was manufactured in 1961, the first year that Jaguar produced the E-Type, and was to be part of a display Mr Shearman planned to be housed at Wappenbury Hall in Warwickshire, which was the former long-time home of Sir William Lyons who founded Jaguar Cars in 1935.
