David Cameron buys £1,500 used car for wife Samantha
… “[The second-hand car dealer] explained that when he turned up for the appointment, Mr Cameron asked his security detail to stand behind the car to make sure the back brake lights worked.
Mr Harris said he could not resist quipping that it was lucky the car was not red – the colour of the Labour Party.
“Fortunately, it was just the right colour,” he said.
Mr Harris added: “It was a bit surreal, but likewise he was just a normal chap buying a car for his wife, a normal conversation, normal sort of deal and that was it.”

Yeah, normal – but he just happened to have a photographer there who just happened to send the photo to all the newspapers.
Do let Owl know if you see Sam Cam in her second-hand Nissan Micra AFTER the EU referendum.

As I understand it, this was a high-mileage, quite old Micra – and I wonder whether it was really worth £1,500 – and whether Sam Cam really wants to drive it.
The likelihood is that this is simply a publicity stunt to demonstrate that Dodgy Dave is really “a man of the people” – yeah, right!! – and that this Dodgy Dave’s approach to buying a used car has a lot of similarities to his approach to buying electricity generation:
Both Sam’s Micra and Hinkley C are massively overpriced;
Both Sam’s Micra and Hinkley C are likely to be below the quality wanted by the end-users;
Both Sam’s Micra and Hinkley C are probably unwanted by the end-users.
