He had been with one of our advertisers for a while. A bit of a strange duck in the classic breakfast, that huge V8 turbo diesel Ford pick up with double air behind.
On the editorial board we received an email from the advertiser: "Did we happen to know someone who spoke French?"
We have someone like that at home.
The Ford was spotted by a French-speaking Belgian.
And it took half a day to negotiate and translate, but the deal was closed.
And whether the Ford went to a Real Classic Enthusiast?
Well neuh…
But the new owner had just fallen in love with it during a search for a sturdy work donkey for his road-building business, and the solidly sturdy appearance of his new property even turned out to work extremely well in advertising terms.
