The reason i posted the title , is the car has recently been sold in the UK.

Looking at the pictures i don't think the new owner paid too much for it.

New owner has posted photos on social media.

Lives near Goodwood circuit.

I have spoken to him about the car & photos are from him.

By accident I came across the new updated website for this iconic car (tongue in cheek)

Sit down , pour a glass of your favourite tipple and enjoy reading the article..

Hi Grant,

It is indeed old news , I think it appeared around 2010.

The original link failed some years ago , so thought it would

be enjoyable for all our newer members
