Tony, you made may day !!
Thank you so much for your posting! I was looking for previous owners over the last years, but was'nt very succesful. I bought this lovely car on the Techno Classica fair in Essen in 1999. Nearly everythig was damaged exept of the gearbox. Few years ago I was able to meet Ken Rudd at the Goodwood Revival and we had a long talk about this car. He remebered it very well because of the small bench and told me this was a work of his own company. Asked for the reason he smiled and said: I loved the panic in the eyes of my co-drivers when they tried to tighten themselves during cornering! And yes, the bench is still in place! It took me nearly one year of work, to get the original leather soft and to do all the needlework on broken piping. Together with the car came the green log book, wich shows maroon as it's first colour. So I decided to bring her back to original specification. Hope you like my work so far......and the colour is really great, I think!
And perhaps you can imagine how much I'm interested in every picture, letter, invoice or just remebering any details from the time you owned the car. Perhaps you know as well your previous owner and to whom you gave the car at least? If you are willing to,please send copies of all the stuff to my email adress: gies@berosafe.de and perhaps we will met some day personally.
I'm somewhat nervous now and awaiting your answer!
Thank you very much again,
With kindest regards
Chris
