[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

THPNNA05855, a very well-known car originally built and raced as a Gr3 
(including at Le Mans), and later converted to race in Gr4, has been rattling 
around for the past 5-10 years, being sold and re-sold and re-sold again.   It 
just traded hands one more time at the RM auction in London, this past 
weekend.   It sold for 159,900 GP pounds, which works out to just a hair under 
$265K.

Note that the flares are home-made and not proper "Gr4" flares.   This car 
features heavily in the De Tomaso racing book....
