1080 & 1115

I am the new owner of 1080, and I can assure you and other members of this forum that the car will not remain a museum piece. My intention is to thrash the life out of it on race tracks around the world and enjoy myself doing so.

Congratulations Gary! That is a truly beautiful car - can we look forward to seeing it in the UK then???? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

Keith, thank-you for your wishes, I agree she is truely a beutiful car. I was delighted when a close inspection of her revealed that the battle scars of her competition years had been preserved during the restoration. You and others may also be interested to know that the car is being re-painted back into it's original white and blue stripe racing paint scheme so that it's real history is properly preserved. At the moment the car will remain in the UK for awhile. I intend to "learn to drive it" on some tracks in the UK, we will probably take it to Goodwood (but i think I might be too late to enter), it has been entered into the Shelby Conention race at Fontana in the USA in July, and I may do the Japanese 24 hours race later this year with her or my GT350R. The big picture is to take the car to the 2006 Classic Le Mans. I will keep you posted on my progress with this beutiful car.

And 1115 is now gone too

 

P/103 is also missing from Symbolic's inventory list.

Are you sure it's 1115. I was at the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia where the 1115 was run and has been for several years and which I had the peasure of riding in. The owner lives in Baltimore Maryland and also owns 1118.

Being the original post is going on 9 years old, it could have changed owners, and still been with someone for several years.
