A luxury car that has links to a financial scam that rocked the nation in the 1970s has emerged for sale 50 years later for over £300,000.
The Facel Vega II dates back to 1963 but was bought and financed in the early 70s by the notorious fraudsters the 'Southern Organs'.
Run by conmen Jim 'Sydney' Miller and John Bellord, the criminal organisation ran an elaborate scheme that stole around £6m, including from churches.
