Malcom hamiltons e-type up for sale

[jeff666]

This famous iconic race car is now up for sale, just spotted it on e-bay, its a shame the current owner could not finish the car, but lets hope whoever buys it can return it to its former racing glory.

Anybody with deep pockets out there ?

120k is just Daft - even if in one piece it ain't worth that.

Sorry to rain on the owners parade (I know a PHer as per that long thread), but come on.............!

I had a feeling this would always happen.

It does seem expensive,,, but the marsh plant built astons are probally up around that figure.

I did hear a rumour that over 100k was spent developing freemans aston, and malcs old car spanked that regulary.

I guess i like the jag because the malc/rob beere team were always the underdog in the series,
they used to turn up to meeting's with the car on an old trailor, being pulled by some old yank
tank.

This was in total contrast to the marsh plant lot who had all the latest gear, and dont forget employed a pro driver, nothing wrong with that of course,it was just nice to see malc/rob take the club racing route and win.

Is the engine a Group C TWR-spec. motor? Wouldn't a decent V12 XJR9 be heading towards £1 million? In which case the engine must be worth a decent figure in itself. I'm only a spectator, but I'd imagine this is going to be a nostalgic purchase for someone as much as being for pure driving pleasure. Also, what would it be eligible to race in these days with the demise of Super GT?

I may be wrong, but i think the engine is based on a std v12, but all the internals are remade by rob beere, (clever chap )

This has come up for sale again on E-bay, no price given just offers considered, I am not sure weather or not it ever saw track action once it was rebuilt.

Need to go check my lottery numbers now....
