Nice find, Felix. 1229, if I'm not mistaken.

As always I'm impressed, Richard! Hope the car is still around.

What a brilliant/Lovely old Pic that is
Lara always insists on taking pics all the time, it drives me mad, but, in years to come people will look back at all the pics that she takes and say "What a lovely old period pic just like we are now, so it's a really good thing to do, I certainly don't take pics and regret that, I love seeing old cars in Pics and this one is just great..many thanks for sharing that Felix..That lady had taste!!

Hi

If this is 2240/1229, i believe the car still exists as Registration No LGF 677 N
Was Saturn Gold with a Champagne interior in 2001 and was being sold by Andrew Osborn Mem No 1647 in Nov/Dec 2001
See JOC Magazine No 160
Car is currently taxed until 31.05.22 but i have no recent information or ownership of this car

Kind regards

Very interesting, Jim, thank you.

I don't know if the car is still around but Cleo still is. Just had a birthday too. Met her a few times with Carroll at Shelby club events. Back when I owned a Tiger.

Yes Cleo is still alive and as per my knowledge in good health. Met both in the early 90's also on a Shelby event, was there with my Cobra (no roll bars, no sidepipes) - interesting that Caroll was remembering about every car he originally built. One of my outstanding meetings, sure I'm having some photos, will search for them, scan and post it.
By the way Cleo was wife number 4 of Caroll
