Son repays dad 34 years on
A man who sold his prized Jaguar to buy a pram for his baby son in 1970, has been repaid with a new car on his 60th birthday.
Allan Collins, from South Wales, had to give up his car 34 years ago when baby Allan arrived.
But now his son, also Allan, has repaid his father by handing him the keys to a ÂŁ20,000 S-type, three-litre automatic Jaguar, says the Daily Express.
Mr Collins senior said: "It's my dream car and the best present I've ever had. I never wanted to part with my jaguar all those years ago but I decided having a pram was more important."
Allan junior, himself a father of two, said: "It was hard keeping the surprise, but it was worth it to see his face."
