Bee no hidden clues in that last post of mine - merely saying you were off line in your thinking.

As a clue... say what you see

That was dead clever, both Bern for setting it and Phil for (I'm sure) getting it right! Great stuff you guys.

Sounds like it could be Denzel Washington, Linford Christie or Lenny Henry, but not Patti Boulaye or Moira Stewart though!

Clue needed it seems?

If you don't pay me £500 in unused fivers I won't tell you the answer!

Other than the make/model and it being yellow, how would you describe Del's car - remember, he's cockney as well.
