Description:
A man has been forced to sell the UK's largest collection of beer cans for £25k - after it got so big he needed an extension. <br/><br/>Nick West, 65, had been gathering an impressive collection of unusual and rare cans for 42 years and had amassed 10,300 of them at his peak.<br/><br/>The father-of-two from North Somerset initially made the “heartfelt” decision to trim down his £25,000 collection - to just 1,500.<br/><br/>But two years ago, the couple moved to Ledbury, Herefordshire from Langford, in North Somerset - having previous lived in Clevedon for 33 years.<br/><br/>Moving to a smaller home meant Nick had to finally sell the remaining 1,497 cans because the couple had 'no space left for them'.<br/><br/>And he has now been left with just THREE in his once booming collection.<br/><br/>He sold the remaining cans to a couple of Italian dealers who travelled all the way from Italy especially to collect his precious collection.<br/><br/>Nick said: \
