Court orders man to sell off his collection of prized Trabants

A Derbyshire man who has spent almost 20 years collecting East German Trabant cars has lost his final appeal against an order to remove them.

Graham Goodall, 61, who lives in Middleton-by-Youlgreave, has been involved in a dispute with the Peak District Park Authority since 2004.



The authority issued planning notices to remove 40 of his 49 vehicles.

Two judges at London's High Court said Goodall was the "author of his own misfortune" and turned down the appeal.
