Thanks Hoppa, you write:
"My view : we may be at a watershed moment and the media is making a giant collective fool of itself.."
Exactly. I think this is it...at long last. Mind you, I've thought that before more than once.
Best, Jim

Also a few owners of RRs update their cars to the latest trim so you might find an older model with new frontal styling or newer model headlights.
Blimey Foz, I thought I was a nerd!...I was referring to the wiki link Jim posted that he thought was a '73 Shadow with rubber bumpers....That one was a US car. Jimbo's is definitely a UK RHD series 2 in the picture from the compo story. And you're right that people did upgrade them...But I can guarantee that they didn't upgrade to 1977 bumpers IN 1972!! Unless they had a crystal ball

but it wont go to Court - Savile is dead !
I note the 'lad's' solicitor is saying he will sue Savile's estate as I'm sure others will attempt to which will be vigorously contested by his executors as is their duty
They've already rolled over !!!!
I'm referring to the others it is claimed were being arrested 'within days'. But suing his estate or the Beeb isn't going to be cut and dried so alleged victims thinking they are going to get a quick payout like government compensation will find themselves waiting years..long long time and they will have to prove they are legit. Executor has no choice.
no they haven't rolled over they have frozen the account.
Those who are meant to receive legacies cannot be just written off.
There are real legal complications here and as Savile is dead as you point out his estate could have been deemed to already belong to those it was left to ie- it's not Savile's.
They alleged victims have all come out after Savile is dead..should have made their moves before he died.
But it will all end in litigation and the lawyers will hoover up the lot.
Then again if Raccoon proves to be legit and some sort of conspiracy is uncovered...phoney victims could be in real trouble. Heaven help those not living in council flats who own property.
Believe me..suing Savile's estate is one huuuuge mistake for those hoping for a quick quid.
