And finally... bucking bronco

Former Formula 1 champion, Jenson Button, has been faced with legal action over the sale of a classic 1970 Ford Bronco.

Businessman Leo Eccles alleges that Button falsely claimed ownership of the vehicle, which allegedly belonged to Button’s now-wife, Brittny Ward. Eccles paid $166,000 (around £132,000) for the Bronco but asserts its true value is closer to $32,000 (around £25,000), The Telegraph reports.

The lawsuit further claims that the need for substantial repairs to the car were concealed. As a result, Eccles is demanding a full refund and termination of the sale.

Button denies the accusations, countering that Eccles is experiencing “buyer’s remorse” and unable to register the car in the UK.
