Day two of the search seemed as though it was even worse as they came upon a battered old garage with a sign saying, ‘Car For Sale.’ The man of the garage took them round the back and unravelled a rusty old, four-seater, strangely long open motor car with a hood and the green paint slightly peeling off.
