Yes, fantastic news... seems there are some 'serious' people behind this... I wonder if the motivation and impetus behind this have anything to do with the 'Movie' ??? wink, wink!

Secondly, okay I am going to say this, but I am just being honest about my feelings here: Sure, I know the owner paid good money for 'Straker's car' - and it's his to do with as he likes. But, I find it reprehensible that he decided to let it rust away to nothing rather than to allow it to be given/sold to someone that could have restored it to its rightful pristine condition. Just to watch it rust/dissolve away knowing full well its history and importance is crass and downright selfish - many people offered good money (and were denied) to save this unique car.

There, I've said it! Thanks god these guys are saving it in some form.

Regards,

Griff

Glad to hear the owner allowed Sean Robinson's team to make cast molds of the original car. I look forward to see the results. Too bad the original car's condition prevents it from being restored.
