Herts man restores dad’s old car after online find

Ninety-four year-old Malcolm Stern had been looking up his father’s old family car when he saw a Bonhams listing on the internet.

He paid £6,000 for the ‘real wreck’ – which is also 94 years old – and spent three years restoring it to its former glory.

For its first journey, he drove the 1930s classic car from his home in Hertfordshire to Penn in Buckinghamshire.

His restoration has now been acknowledged with a National Transport Trust's President's Award.

Justin Dealey went to meet them.
