That is lovely. Great history and such a great colour combination.

Any ideas where this will be priced or who did the restoration work?

Hammer dropped at £200k. I wonder what premium a 356 previously owned by an Assistant Director of The A-Team attracts :wink:

I looked at the link my car has the same spec, the same colours and it was also first registered over her in May 59. My chassis number is less than 100 from this car. I also have owned mine from 1969.

It looks like mine !

Have you got any speed records though Roy (speeding fines don't count)?
