nice!
maybe we should all take a trip up to pay homage.....

 

[Paul Bearman]

£425,000 seems alot of money for a car that was has no race history. However, I believe it has been restored to a high standard.
Simon, if you can make an appointment to view the car I would be interested to come along.

............and an advert in Motor Sport.

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

Price seems high to me as well, especially in view of no race history. Then again, if they can get it, why not?

 

[Bill D]

I bet the high price is due in part to Ford's new GT car. The car has gained great publicity of late with the unveiling of the new GT.

Just a guess though

Less than two years ago it changed hands for 2/3 this amount ! In the years prior to that there had been various sale/no sales at about the UK£ 250 / USD 400 mark - the restoration I think was before this period too

 

[Jim Glickenhaus]

As an aside cars with big history are moving up. A big history MKII recently sold for 3 million.

 

[HILLY]

Please forgive my ignorance but what does the P designate in the chassis number.

 

Prototype.

Actually it's Production.

The cars with chassis numbers in the 100 range (101 - 112) were the prototypes. The cars in the 1000+ range (1000 - 1114) are considered to be production models.

(The chassis numbers come from Ronnie Spain's book)

 

Whoops - you're quite right Ben. My mistake.

 

[HILLY]

So does this mean that all 40’s from MK 1’s to the Safire built MK V cars carry this ‘P’ designation.

1065 now allegedly sold

 

Does anyone know if the valve covers that say " Cobra " on them if they are original or copies of the original ones. I have never seen an original with valve covers like that.
