The Sand colour FF was up for £124,950 and had a sold ticket on it by the time we went home

It had stood in an underground carpark in Beaconsfield for 3 years due to its owner unfortunately loosing his life in a motorcycle accident and bought the car from his mother who was dealing with the estate. I spent many hours righting all the wrongs and turned it into a quite decent roadgoing car. Colin Holley fitted an aluminium bonnet and painted the car champagne.
Altho registered as chassis 071 the car is actually 137 which is why it has a red interior. I had a serious wobbly when i realised this but eventually found out that both cars were owned by the same guy while in for work at Sturdy and Lowe, 071 was very rusty and 135 was on an F reg so the ID's were swapped. Strangest thing tho' was that last year i bought a van load of Jensen parts from an ex owner from Doncaster, he said he'd got them from sturdy and lowe years ago when they shut up shop. In the pile was some MK1 black interior with a dashboard that had 071 written on the back!!.
Annoyingly it became another one of several nice FF's i've owned that i've sold on, if only i'd had a crystal ball eh!.

The owner before this sale at Goodwood was someone who was previously involved at Cropredy apparently. Classic and Sportscar Centre had taken it in part-ex against an E-Type.

I might probably know the owner of said blue C-V8, right Martin?
