There's a nice writeup on this car in the August issue of Octane Classic and Perfomance car magazine if your bookstore carries it, page 110.

Here's the result from the Bonham's auction at the Silverstone Classic meeting on 24th July:

Lot No. 119 - 'Big Sam' - reached a Hammer Price of £70,000 - so with the Buyers Premium and taxes, the new owner will have paid a total of £79,987.50 ( that's the equivalent of around $122,750 US at today's exchange rate ). Not bad.

Hopefully the car will see the track again soon....

£10,000 above the high end of the estimate not including the extra fees. It's nice to see that only the Bentley and Aston Martin sold for a higher price. I suppose it's safe to assume that the buyer is someone simply adding a toy to an existing collection.

Wow, that is a good number for a special car.

Alan, like you I hope to hear and see the car on the track in the near future.

Interesting car with an interesting story. I am glad it found a good home.
