thanks david, both same car, as there is only one MA 200! It had been repainted at some point with that green/blue, (all gone now), and subsequently fitted with minilites. Your recollection of painted spokes helps.. I am restoring her to exact 1963 specs, so my preferences are really unimportant..I purchased the car thru colin dunn, not clevewood garage, do you have contact info for them as they may have some info for me as well.
thanks, regards, mark

Hi All,
Just checking in. The resto is moving along faster than anticipated, as the car is fully cooperating! There was some electrolysis where the aluminum meets the space frame, which has been dealt with, but otherwise, most of the body was amazingly intact. it's really fun guessing where parts came from, for example, the rear license plate lights came from a 356!
here's a pic Trevor Legate was kind enough to share with me, Taken at Silverstone, the first test of the 427 Cobra. MA 200 is in the background. That's Chris Amon with the helmet! We assume Derek Hurlock drove MA 200 to the meet.

Chuck, just sent the article again. look for an e mail from msgsobe.
cass, you are right, same pic. Also, the side elevation is at the copy shop, getting a full set of copies made so we can put the origanals in a vault! as soon as they are back, I'll scan a nice flat well lit copy for you.

Chuck I emailed you a better copy. Cass, the entire file is at the restoration shop, I'll ask him to repost the side elevation. The article mentions the possible Frua/428/Mistral connection. Heres a pic of her naked!
