   As you may recall, Rod Stewart had also once owned a yellow 1991 AC MkIV Lightweight (chassis no. AK1320).

Post by: SunDude on August 12, 2013, 18:35:41: CSX3264, the ex-Rod Stewart and ex-Jan & Dean Cobra, is being offered once again for sale at the Russo and Steele auction in Monterey, Aug 17 (Sat), 2013.

   I had heard that the sale might've fallen through at the Worldwide Auctioneers event in Houston, which might explain why it's being offered again so soon. Either that or someone is looking to make some $$s on a quick flip.
