On 7 October 2002 while driving my Bentley across Australia, it caught fire. With dire consequences. The insurance company paid out on the claim.
| I had several options: |
| 1. |
Scrap the car and use the insurance money to buy another car. |
| 2. |
Give the car to a commercial rebuilder and sit back and pay the bills hoping the payout was sufficient and not know for certain what was happening. |
| 3. |
Be brave, employ a skilled engineer and fit out a workshop and rebuild it at home. So I could be certain of what was done, using the best advice from members of the BDC. |
