1959 ex C+CC racer?

Very interested to hear any more on this one if anyone knows of it? Description makes it sound fairly genuine. Anybody got any info/pics of this in its prime if it is as described?

this has been on ebay before, it does look cheap if the history is correct, but it looks as if it is had spent some time in the hands of a fairly unsympathetic owner!
please note, these are my own, individual sales, nothing whatsoever to do with my employer, minispares

That sounds like a steel at that price.
