Not a GS, seems originally sold in Canada, first owner was a Brit who had it for 44 years and brought it to UK when he came back to Blighty.

Moved back due to ill health shipped car refused to sell sadly became terminal. Only sold at I may add reduced price as told going to collector. I now find on this show with hamnond driving bonnet cut up. I'm devastated it's ended up this way, the first owner never drove it fast cherished his car. I asked who the buyer was but told very private person but it's going to a good home. I feel I've been conned." The classic "it's going to a collector" story. Feels like the BBC isn't supposed to con people.

Although I do understand the previous owner's emotional pain a bit, I was fearing what would end up happening to the Cadillac when watching the entire episode, and I was sure one of the cars would end up in the sea.
