| The estimate looks ridiculously low. People want cars like this. |

| I've given up making auction predictions - except to say that it will definitely be out of my price range! Very nice indeed though. |

I love the way that newspapers don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Clearly the car was known to the club, the owner seems to have been a member in 2005 and Clare Hay identified it in 1997.
The idea that it will be a simple matter to get it back on the road (reliably) also seems unlikely to me. 30 years of inactivity suggest to me that a full engine rebuild will be necessary and no doubt, some major chassis work. The interior will probably cost more to conserve than to replace.

| Good to read the article in 'The Automobile" regarding this car. It is back on the road and running well after amazingly little work! |
