my wife returned home ever so excited from the car boot this morning. Proudly she ripped off the brown paper to reveal an old and battered picture of a policeman. His uniform was typical 18th century, and because of this she was convinced that it was a genuine Constable. She said that the stall holder only wanted a fiver for it but she felt guilty and gave her £75 to ease her conscience.
She said that she simply had to buy it because she knew that I wouldn't have turned such a bargain down had I been there.
She was over the moon because she thought she had surpassed the bargain that I got once.......an old picture of a bloke working on a Lathe. That was £150 well spent and is in my loft building up value day by day......It's not every day you come across a Turner at a car boot is it?

I almost bought a painting of ginner bird with her norks out at Oldcotes car boot on Sunday. The fella was only asking a fiver for it - I asked him four times who the artist was but he just kept sneezing so I gave up and left it. B)
Mind you I did have a bit of a result when the old dear next door was having a clear out. I'd always been complimentary about a blurred painting of a lily pond on her dining room wall and she said she was going to throw it out so I may as well have it. It was Monet for nothing.
With that and a few others I'm building quite a collection now. I've got two Monets, four Hockneys, a couple of Dalis but just one Canaletto.
