Yes! The 850 is CC daily car (the real and registered one), in the back, the 997 of the 62/beginning 63 season, in front, the 1071 (63 )!

Nice colour pic of the 997 powered version at Goodwood in the next MCR mag, jeez I'm sounding like a spammer now ! :lol:

Christabel's promised me an article in the new year also if she's not out climbing the Himalayas ! :roll:

I know the pic you mean (Brands '63 I think) we've done that one, there's a better one of her on the grid also from the same race I've got in the 'S' but the shot I'm talking about is a paddock shot at Goodwood of the earlier 997 car. What a great driver she was, a complete natural, what a terrible shame she had that accident in the Sprite and called it a day.

Some say she was no oil painting but I'd totally disagree. In fact I can prove it.......

:D

Quite an unusual thing isn't it just not my thing, mainly cos I just don't like the way the perspective of the car's all out of cock. Still a real rarity and Christabel's amazed the seller's not mentioned the driver.
