I know heretofore Mike has been famous for building replicas of Mk.IVs and maybe Mk.IIs but Autoweek has a big story this week on his finding a real Mk/ II 1011. It doesn't say who he bought it from but on a GT40 forum there was a letter from a guy who said back in 2006-2007 he bought parts and rights to a GT40 from Lee Holman Jr. so I don't know if this was the source of Mike's car. For a speech I am going to make at Monterey I would like to know about what Mike paid and if it's the same car.
PS Here's the letter from the forum:
0 P/1011

I have bought the rights and parts from Lee Holman in 2006/7and I am in the process of restoring/rebuilding the car. If interested I can email pictures of the progress. Also, I am in the Shelby registry. I have also bought other project GT40 from Lee.
