The eccentric millionaire for whom it was built was named Martin Anthony Harvey, who was said to be so disappointed with his new Rolls-Royce that he decided to commission something that would be better... Whether he succeeded is open to question!

The car is currently for sale: £225,000 secures it, if there are any more batty millionaires out there!
