The modified - so-called 'ratted' Bentley - has gone viral on the internet with more than 133,000 views on eBay.

"Removing the paint was the hardest part," said Matt, 48, from St Day. "The paint job on Bentleys is so good it took an angle grinder to get it off."

The leader of the opposition at Teignbridge Dristrict Council disagrees with a 12% pay rise for its Chief Executive Nicola Bulbeck - taking her salary to £141,000.

But opposition Liberal Democrat leader Gordon Hook said: "Loads of people have been urged to take a pay restraint or no pay rises - I'm thinking of nurses and care workers - and our own employees at Teignbridge.

"We're all being urged to be careful and yet out of the blue there's a 12.5% pay rise for the chief executive."

Jeremy Christophers, the Conservative leader of the council, says the increase reflects additional responsibilities she's taken on after the senior management team was cut from 18 to 6 posts.
