I recall a story from the late 80's...
Fg Off Keen as Mustard, caught one of the painters doing some after work hours in the paint bay.
"Cpl Painter" he shouts "painting of private cars will cease forthwith in the painting bay, move it at once"
"Yes sir, No probs, Never again, cross my heart"
5 mins later, Fg Off Keen as Mustard phone ring's... "Good Morning, Fg Off Keen as Mustard"
"Ah Mustard, It's the Staish, You do realise that's my car in the paint bay, Cpl Painter is just touching it up for me"
Apparently, the Boss was doing a TR8 conversation and went to the painters (one used to work for Jaguar as a painter) and asked if they could do a paint job once he had finished the mechanics.
True, maybes, but with the gent concerned, it is more than a possibility.
