Roger reported back--Derek Williams bought this car, and Roger bought the
other one, which needed some work. This car is now enroute to Roger's shop
for a bit of a look-see to see whether Ben and the QV500 guys spent their
9000 GBP wisely when they recommissioned the car. This was a barn car by the
way--it had been parked in storage somewhere for many years.
No mention of the sales price of the car however, but undoubtedly it was
well-bought. Roger did a restoration on a pretty decent Deauville imported
from Australia and reportedly the restoration costs were well in excess of
100,000 GPB pounds!
