Vijay Pattni catches up with the winner of the 2008 Miss England competition - Laura Coleman.

The 2008 Miss England winner was raised on a diet of crankshafts, cogs – and Aston Martins.

“My dad bought his first Aston Martin – a DBS – when he was around 18. He raced it at Brands Hatch and broke the crankshaft.

“I remember because I had to help push it back home, but kept falling over and scraping my knee!
