Smithy’s Volvo 850S Estate was used by him for his job as a handyman in Billericay, Essex, with the slogan ‘If your husband won’t do it – I will…’. It also featured in a sketch for Comic Relief in 2011, when James Corden as ‘Smithy’ transported singer George Michael to the studio in the first ever ‘Carpool Karaoke’.
