If there is a better sub-forum to put this beauty, the bosses can move it.

I'm surprised we haven't had more comment on this after all the 'healthy debate' we had about the 'Ford Tool Room Copy'. ;D

Yep.  I posted this with the expectation of some discussion, if only to point out how it was inappropriate.

Hi nice car, but 200,000 for a 2 litre saloon with a pretty body really!!! Buy a saloon and get one built for say 50,000 or less.

As for debate not much chance on here.

This car has cropped up on the forum & in Action at various times. I guess the price is high for a 2 litre special but it depends what value a buyer places on it's unique history.

Here's an old posting from 2015. https://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2965.msg23218#msg23218 (https://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2965.msg23218#msg23218)

It does look lovely in the flesh, I saw it at the London Classic show over the last couple of years it was for sale both times.
