pretty cool! timewarp car is right!

WOW. I've never seen one for sale. That will be a fun restoration. Must have access to a machine shop and someone really passionate about putting it back.

Wow.

Absolutely incredible! Battleship gray; I'll bet the paint was left over from WW1. If I only had the £1.5m.

I believe there is a good chance it will not be restored but will be recommissioned mechanically and cleaned only. With that special low body, the racing record, and single documented family ownership It will go for a strong price, I would think.

Cool!
