...seeking a new home for 40 of the 49 cars he keeps in the grounds of his home in a picturesque village in northern England. Goodall said he fell in love with the East German icon - whose engine has only five moving parts - on a 1987 visit to Berlin, and it would be a "disaster" to split up the collection.
