Re: Colin Hymes Red GT40

The Hymes family owned Lana park in Melbourne. the car sat in a shed for many years as colin was a recluse. I did some work on the car over many years at different times.

Mr John Marr who had an engine reconditioning shop in Melbourne ended up with the car. a friend of Mr Marr owned a Company in Melbourne called Boss Auto Parts (Kiven Musgrove) He specialized in Ford Mustangs and was an Ex Engineer from Ansett Airlines He convinced John the car was worth money and to sell it to a company in Phoenix USA.

That the best I can remember.

Ron.
