I have just purchased Chassis No. AB3363. The following information was provided to me by Martin Chisholm: The car appeared in a great classic English film "A School for Scoundrels" and was then bought from the film studio by the last owner who had the car for 40 odd years. It is all matching numbers, C Type gearbox, self-wrapping brakes and plate clutch. The body was fitted in the late 50's or early 60's and the engine has been re-built for the current owner who has hardly used it. He also re-covered the body and re-upholstered the interior. I am the current owner and am in the process of making a Le Mans replica. It is fitted with a short body so is perfect for mounting the Le Mans style fuel tank straight onto the back.
