Would dearly love to see it - anyone know???
When you say Small museum,do you mean Arthur Carters?
I'm sure the car mentioned was one that Arthur bought from Gerry Marshall.
It was a really good deal between them as I think Gerry was a bit short of funds at the time.
I remember the day vividly in that the car had been brush painted in maroon with a yellow flash.It was in fact one of the many cars Graham Hill had driven
Had some very nice mods done suspension wise and I think it was the BDA engine in it.
Great pleasure in sanding off that paint though.Evedence of some minor damage but no panels need replacing,as far as I could tell,it was completely original.
