The story

She wanted a V8 Porsche. He bought her a BMW X1.

Stuart found a personalised plate with her nickname on it and bought the car it was attached to. That is the logic. He stands by it.

Then the transporter turned up with the wrong BMW. Excellent attention to detail, all round.

Once the right one was on the drive, the job was to give it more character and make it a nicer place to spend time in: paint correction, new wheels, a reversing camera and CarPlay.

“Whether I got it right, it’s hers to decide.”
