I bought this car in 1996 and owned it until about 2001. I bought it locally in London England from a guy who had bought it at auction a year or 2 earlier and done some work on it for re-sale. Prior to that it had had a long term owner who had to sell it when he got divorced - I remember tracking him down and calling him and he did not want to talk about the car because he was so upset about having had to sell it.

I remember that it was first owned by a motoring journalist called Dennis May (the guy I bought it from had done a lot or research on its history). I think he had owned it until about the 1970's.

When I had the car it was in good shape but basically a nice driver. I used it at weekends and loved it. I only sold it because my wife and I had a kid so we bought a V12 2+2. For a while I had the 2 of them which was great.

Anyway I don't know who has it now but hope it is still being enjoyed!

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
