Restored for him by Willie Green and sold to Nigel Moores and now owned by his son James. Origil engine, transmission, chassis, body, gearbox, upholstery, etc. Odometer shows 6,515 believeable miles.

Market commentary
Excellent U.S. racing history, known provence and history from new, impressive and verifiable origility in all important respects make for an exceptiol collector car, topped off by the wonderful, sinuous beauty of Malcolm Sayers wind cheating design and the technical brilliance of the center monocoque construction. This is a benchmark price that pulls all D and C types and XKSSs up by their suspenders.
