Michael Barrymore was all smiles at Scott's restaurant in Mayfair - unfurling his 6ft 3in frame from his modest Ford Fiesta and posing happily with the doorman.
This year’s Car of the Year shortlist strikes me as one of the most interesting for years, because of the variety. The seven-strong list of finalists for Europe’s most important “best car” competition — by virtue of the fact that it garners the opinions of 59 jurors from 22 countries — is often sometimes regarded as rather prosaic by critics.
