Doctor: I never received dream car in trade

A medical consultant at Waterford Regional Hospital, who agreed to trade in his Ferrari California in part exchange for a McLaren MP4 sports car, never received his new dream vehicle, the High Court has heard.

Edward O’Donnell has launched proceedings against a Dublin-registered car dealership and one of its directors over their failure to supply him with a 2012 McLaren MP4 12C which was to be part-funded by the sale of his Ferrari.

The court heard that despite receiving numerous assurances that he would either get the McLaren or receive a refund following the sale of the Ferrari, he had received neither.
