RENOVATING QUEEN, TV STAR, PRESENTER AND AUTHOR CHERIE BARBER SHARES HER LOVE OF VINTAGE STYLE, SALVOS SHOPPING AND A CAR NAMED MILDRED

MILDRED THE CHEVVY

“I bought my vintage car, a pink 1956 Chevrolet, about five or six years ago. My sparky sent me a link about a classic car auction in Nebraska. It was in the middle of nowhere. I had to take three planes to get there, drive six hours. You know when something happens in your life and you think, ‘I’m going to remember this forever’? It was one of those moments. I nicknamed her Mildred, in honour of her former owner. She’s all original and she’s probably my most favourite asset. I love her.”
