Back in the late 60s a mate of mine was passing a car saleroom in the centre of Liverpool when he saw a guitar hanging in the window of the office.
Apart from the fact it was badly hand-painted it looked in reasonable condition, so he asked what they were wanting for it.
The salesman told him that it was given in part exchange and he had no idea what to ask for it - they settled on £10.00 for the black, hand-painted Martin.
