Re: Deep Sanderson
not the money they want, no.
what can you do with it? Hillclimbs?
Great thing though.

Re: Deep Sanderson
They are trying hard to sell this one, would it ever get a Goodwood invite again?

Re: Deep Sanderson
Chris Lawrence has been trying to sell that since before its Goodwood appearance.
Yes, it has an interesting history, yes it's very nicely done.
BUT. As far as I know he had major problems getting it to work correctly in the 60's he had similar problems once it was restored & if the prices he has been asking elsewhere are anything to go by it won't make the reserve.
Oh & if I am being honest, I think it's as ugly as sin.

Re: Deep Sanderson
As far as I can see it has very little real history. It's not a car that lots of people coverted, it's not actually won or even competed in any high class events (such as Le Mans).
It's a quirky one-off, worth little over 10% of it's apparant re-built cost.
An as already pointed out, what would you do with it?

Re: Deep Sanderson
The current owner asked me to offer it to a Japanese acquaintance for a, ahem, spectacular price some months ago, but it was a no-go. So now it makes it to auction. I have tried to source a bit more of its history. Result here: http://maximummini.blogspot.com/2011/07 ... ioned.htmlSurf 1275 wrote:Another well known car here.......
