I looked at this car recently as it's only about a mile away. Interestingly, it is only 6 production numbers away from mine. It is now on the site among the "known" Turners by chassis numbers - 30/212.

The eBay bidding went up to US$7,700 which is FAR below the owner's reserve. If I have a chance over the weekend, I'll call or stop in to see if he really wants to sell the car or is just fishing. I learned today what his reserve is. And, it is way out of line with reality.

The car itself is in nice condition. We couldn't get it started when I was there. But it turned over - the engine has internals.

The exterior is nicely done if you don't mind the metallic blue paint. The interior is decently done in black. Seats were done by an upholstery shop.

If anyone has an interest, I can do further inspection.
