This is a true story. It happened in the UK somewhere in the 1960/1970s.
A Jamaican, on a low paid job, read an advertisement in a daily news-paper early in the morning, advertising a Roll-Royce for sale, going cheap. He promptly scraped the last ten pounds he had and went looking for the address. He walked into a mansion with a Rolls-Royce parked in the porch. He rang the bell. A Lady dressed well and speaking posh upper class English greeted him and asked him, whether he came looking for the Rolls-Royce of the advertisement. On being given an affirmative answer, she wanted to know how much he could offer. He said ten pounds. She collected the ten pounds that he offered, handed him the keys and said there is your car, pointing to the stately Rolls-Royce parked in the porch. The flabbergasted Jamaican paused awhile. Then he asked the Lady, 'Madam why are you selling this fabulous car at this price'. The Lady replied 'My husband should get the proceeds of the sale of this car, according to the proceedings of the divorce courts. You are welcome to take the car away, I hope you have a driving license'.
The amused Jamaican laughingly drove the Rolls-Royce away.
