In the good times he has been known to spend up to £15,000 in a month on ebay collecting NIB kits.

The Tamiya Black Porsches in the above picture are the holy grail of vintage collectors, NIB in a good condition box complete with bag will set you back around £5,000. Paul has at least half a dozen and has even split one of them for a fellow collector to replace the parts that were missing in the Porsche he had bought.
