<div>The “valuable cars” were sold as part of Charles’s estate closure. The cars saved from the fire included a TR3, a body shell TR6 and a Spitfire race car that was bought by John Swauger and gifted back to Albert and TRF. </div>

<div>If you have evidence of arson, say it, if you feel so compelled. Otherwise, your words are hollow, and perhaps actionable. </div>

<div>Good taste requires compassion and kindness at a time like this- in my humble opinion. </div>
