[DeTomaso] Two-headlight Mangusta at Bonham's next month

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

Back in 2007 I brokered the sale of a fully restored, then immediately 
parked, barn-find Mangusta from former PCNC member Rich James to Roger Brotton 
in the UK.   He brought it over there, fit a new battery, fresh fluids, 
fiddled with the car and it was a runner!   The car had a ground-up restoration 
but only had a few hundred miles put on it before Rich stored it in a garage 
for years.

Roger sold the car to a guy named Nic who used it well, including winning 
the top award at the 2009 De Tomaso reunion in Modena.   As Nic has another 
Mangusta (the famous 'Kylie Minogue' yellow car which starred in one of her 
music videos) that is currently under restoration at Roger's shop, the red 
one has to go.

So you can surf on over to the Bonhams website and bid to your heart's 
content:

Bring money.   LOTS of money.   We'll see if the white-hot Euro Mangusta 
market responds to a California-sourced two-headlight car the way it has been 
treating four-headlight cars of late....
