Christie\'s Auction
Later this month, Christie's of London will be auctioning what is purported to be the last original GT40 MKI. The chassis and many parts were found in storage in 1972. from what I can gather, the car is being sold by Jack Barclay Showrooms, of London. The deadline for the auction is Jan 27th. The auction, I believe, is in March.
There is not much detail on the level of completion, however most all parts necessary for completion are supposedly included. The expected sale price at auction is 170,000-200,000 Pounds Sterling. No mention of any reserve.
If anyone finds more details on this car, please post them.
Get your check book out boys! This could be
a chance to own a "brand new" original GT40, which is kinda hard to come by these days!
