Quite right, no more of the F word here! This is the car I was chasing, in the end we were 10K apart but it was beautiful.

Ah yes, I remember that one. Brian Burrows owned it and then it went to EHarris from memory?

was 60k with Ed Harris couple of years back.. I had Autofarm inspect it.. few details wrong, ex Freisinger restoration. Replacement cases with original engine number partially stamped on.. have the inspection report somewhere if of any use.
believe for sale now 130k+ euro in Europe
