Mother uses son’s fame to help sell car on Ebay

Anne Cox used her son’s name to help sell her Mini Cooper for £6,000 on eBay after describing it as ‘owned by Harry Styles’ mum’. Cox also promised to meet the eventual buyer of the car – which was bought by the 18-year-old singer as a Mother’s Day present last year – as an extra incentive to encourage people to bid, as well as adding a picture of Harry driving the convertible. The vehicle’s description on eBay reads: ‘Harry Styles of One Direction bought this stunning car for his mum Anne as a Mother’s Day present in 2011. The vehicle was eventually bought by a woman from Newcastle upon Tyne.
