I’m Mr Lock-Up who’s made millions renting out 14k garages – but I’ve made some VERY sinister discoveries inside them
RODGER DUDDING has banked millions of pounds through renting out his 14,000 garages across the UK.
But the deep-pocketed private owner has also experienced blood-curdling horror on his premises.
The Brit, 86, is reportedly worth even more than his hoard of cars, estimated at around £160million.
He started building his empire after inventing a shop ticket queuing system and with the windfall the young businessman invested in garages.
Rodger snapped up a couple in Croydon, London at first, but now at the age of 85, owns a staggering 14,000 across the UK.
In fact, he stores 300 cars in addition to his own over at Studio 434.
With his passion for cars and the jaw-dropping profit the motor lover raked in from his invention and garage business, Rodger was able to start expanding his beloved collection.
However, the motorhead admits that his business dealings has a dark underbelly.
Many people sadly take their own lives in lock-ups because of their secluded nature.
Rodger himself has come across victims on numerous occasions.
“It was most unpleasant,” he said.
Career criminals also flock to Rodger’s garages to hide away stashed goods and dispose of the bodies of murder victims.
RODGER’S FLEET
His most modern motor among the classic beauties is an equally impressive 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Unsurprisingly, this fantastic hoard of collectables boasts everything from Ferraris, to Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Alfa Romeos, Maseratis, Jaguars, Land Rovers, and Range Rovers.
And they are just the tip of the iceburg.
Rodger has a whopping 25 Aston Martin Lagondas in his mind-blowing garage.
A marmite, wedge-shaped model from the 1980s is extremely rare.
He owns three Jensen FFs, a six-wheeler Towns Hustler, eight Triumph Stags, and even a gull-wing DeLorean like that in Back To The Future.
The car connoisseur has so many motors, he forgets what he has already bought.
Rodger ended up with multiple models of the same vehicle – but you can never have too many Maseratis.
The entire collection is estimated to be worth around an eye-watering £40million.
