Well spotted. It's being bigged up with the racing history - I didn't know it raced in europe in period? Is that true?

Interesting! Or may be it didn't sell the last time? Or is there something fundamentally wrong with it, leading to a hasty re-sale?

On a tangent:

This is very similar to where I am planning to remount Project Shed's battery - so very interesting to see! :)

It definitely would - and the condition shown in the pictures would make it an excellent show car.

I'd be nervous to race that again! :lol:

I've been quite tempted, but would have to change the suspension to enable it to be used on the road :?

It sold in September at Bonhams for £4,500, so it may drop a little more if people do their research.

Interesting. Has the car actually been changing hands at all, or simply being re-listed to get the seller's desired price?

Or is it being repeatedly being "flipped" because there is something wrong with it? :?

Word has it that it has lost many 'interesting' parts, and most recent picture and description I saw didn't mention the hardtop. I would have thought though, given it's history as the Tokyo show car it would find a long term owner, provided it is realistically priced of course.

It keeps getting flipped? Speculators or a problem with the car?
