The Saturday Morning chef admitted it was either buying the car or do up his house, because he &#8220;couldn&#8217;t afford&#8221; to do both.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p> It was either buy the car or do my house up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>James Martin<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The 1965 model is one of only seven in existence and the only right-hand drive version, making it a very rare collectable.<\/p>\n<p>Chatting about his prized possession with Jodie Kidd on her YouTube show Kidd in a Sweet Shop, James told the story of how he managed to get his hands on it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had that for nearly 19 years,&#8221; he beamed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I tried to buy it and it sold to a German guy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then I got a phonecall while I was on-air on Saturday Kitchen, my old show on the Beeb, and I had to decide on-air whether I was going to have it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/79\/590x\/I-couldn-t-afford-it-James-Martin-on-behind-the-scenes-dilemma-on-Saturday-Kitchen-before-exit-1555889.jpg?r=1699112607479\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/79\/590x\/secondary\/James-surprised-viewers-with-his-vast-car-collection-3882386.jpg?r=1699112607569\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp;

he advised.<\/p>\n<p>Jodie suddenly began to realise a pattern in his constant bashing of the vehicle, and said: &#8220;You just don&#8217;t like Pagani&#8217;s, do you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>James quickly interrupted: &#8220;I just don&#8217;t like certain modern supercars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bit like Ferrari, that ridiculous thing, that stupid one-seater that you have to drive with a helmet on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason you have to drive with drive with a helmet on is because you look like a right&#8230; driving it!&#8221; he shrieked, referring to the Ferrari Monza.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;I&#8217;m not being rude&#8230;&#8221; before Jodie burst out laughing and issued an apology to Ferrari fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sorry to anyone who&#8217;s just out a massive deposit down on their Ferrari,&#8221; she winced as the TV cook tried to justify his comments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s terrible!&#8221; he exclaimed, refusing to hold back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why would you buy it?! Is it a pretty car?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It comes shortly after the pair had a heated discussion about which was worth the money; the Zonda or the Mercedes 300sl.<\/p>\n<p>James said of his nemesis the Pagani: &#8220;It&#8217;s not worth as much as the 300sl and you still look like a d**k! I&#8217;d still look like a d**k driving a Pagani Zonda.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, James was left under pressure with the latest episode of his cooking show.<\/p>\n<p>The star met his culinary match in Great British Menu two-time winner Daniel Clifford on his ITV show James Martin\u2019s Saturday Morning.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel was creating a soup based recipe, and explaining how to swap different vegetables out in the dish, when he asked James to assist him by adding a \u201cbeautiful cap of caviar\u201d to one of the elements of the dish.<\/p>\n<p>As James completed the task, he joked: \u201cI feel like I\u2019m under pressure in his kitchen now&#8221; and admitted Daniel&#8217;s way of doing things had &#8220;stressed&#8221; him out.<\/p>\n<p>In the comedy exchange the guest quipped: \u201cNow you know how we all feel James.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/celebrity-news\/1555889\/james-martin-huge-dilemma-classic-car-collection-ferrari-275-gtb-house-saturday-morning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Martin couldn&#8217;t afford to renovate house James Martin, 51, admitted he once lived in a motorhome for two whole<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3373],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
