A few weeks back we had a topic about the oldest car so why not one on the shortest time.
In my case about 3 months in 1993 when I was made redundant.
In other ways it was zero time.
1981 contract hire company arranged delivery to Glasgow office - Cortina left London around 5 am and the engine lost all its oil after 10 miles - they apologised and said they would get back to me - 3 months later they phoned to say the car was ready (new engine) - fortunately another outfit had delivered a car in 2 weeks. They don't build Fords @ Dagenham anymore thankfully.
8/9 years later Wallace Arnold cars in Newcastle area arranged delivery - it did not get even 10 miles as the delivery driver left the keys in the car when he went to pick up the delivery paperwork. Somebody jumped in and ran off with it.
