"Hot air" Luke ? You're not kidding, I can't think where it's coming from ... blah

A stunning car, and the sound bounce that's proper old skool aircooled cloud9

It needs a good spanking driving not some limp-wristed mincer poncing around behind the wheel smash

The subject of a 4 year bare-metal restoration/rebuild, and the gearbox and heating and wheels aren't sorted yet scratchchin

Is this the same car? Found via a web search so it's an old page (and price!). Looks like it was Maritime Blue originally...

That car is still around...t must be a different car. It was for sale at OPC Hatfield last year for about £300k. They say in this tweet there were 11 prototype’s and two are known to still exist. Why either car took 4 or 5 years to restore is beyond me.

Cheers! A bit of misinformation then, the Maritime car wasn't the first as in the 9E advert - it seems it was car #11? Luke claims the black car is chassis #1.

From multiple sources, the first 10 cars where prototypes. Chassis 0011 ( the car we sold ) was the first production car. So there is 0001 through to 0010 but they were not classed as production cars.

Yes I actually had a call from the owner just before our car sold. He was confused about our number 1 car claim as he had it. He was in the middle of full restore - I remember we had some discussion and he sent some photos to me.
