Rogue car dealer convicted after selling dangerous vehicle twice

A car dealer has been sentenced after being convicted of selling the same dangerously defective car on two separate occasions.

Stephen Hickman, 63, received a 13-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after admitting to selling an unroadworthy Subaru Forester twice.

Hickman, who was trading under the name "Shelby’s of Netherton" on Halesowen Road, Netherton, was first convicted in March 2022 for selling the car, which was described as a "death trap."
