A classic car enthusiast got the shock of his life when he found an illegal immigrant asleep inside his vintage motor when he arrived back in the UK.
Michael Coatman, 64, was driving his vintage 1926 Vauxhall 14/40 open tourer back from a car show in Perigueux, France, when he was targeted by immigrants twice in a matter of hours.
The semi-retired car salesman from Poole, Dorset, who was transporting the vintage car on a low-loader, discovered the first stow-away at a petrol station just before boarding the ferry in Caen.
Despite Mr Coatman's vehicle being thoroughly searched at the port in Caen, when he got off in Portsmouth another search revealed a Somalian immigrant asleep in the front seat of his classic Vauxhall.
