Paddy in gear with superb vintage collection

PADDY Guerin is a dangerous man to have at an auction. He’ll just wander in for a look. But once inside the door, doubtless the hand will go up and he’ll leave with a bargain.

And then the phone call home: “Riona — you’ll love this.”

Thankfully his wife of 50 years shares his passion for all things motors. Not that she has much choice. Their house is a virtual museum, boasting a range of cars and bikes that would adorn any collection.
