The Bishop of Sheffield turned detective when he realised his first car had actually completed more miles than he was led top believe.

Pete Wilcox says he bought the Vauxhall Nova when he was a humble curate in Teesside and he was happy with the deal until he found proof in the glovebox that the car had been “clocked”. “I had taken a mechanic friend from the church along with me to look at the car,” he said. “I was happy with it until I realised it had been clocked. “The seller came round to see me and brought £1,000 to discount the price, which was quite a lot of money in those days.

I have had an Octavia and a Fabia and now I have an Enyaq which I like a lot. “It is an electric car and it gets me across the diocese and back without charging so I am a convert. “Electric cars are a good thing as far as I am concerned. “I do quite a lot of miles.
