I got a kick out of this statement when talking about the restoration: "...... insuring that the original bodywork was preserved throughout the restoration." Guessing that means the "original" body work that was replaced after the 1963 wreck. In his defense, I believe that only ONE of the original 36 cars still wears ALL of the original hand made alloy panels. They were race cars after all. There is at least one car that carries ZERO original exterior sheet metal.
There is not one die stamped piece of metal on these cars. You can line up three or four and see minor differences, including the hood slope from one to another.

They are just beautiful.
Probably goes without saying that this is one of those cars I would love to have - but - a bit out of my price range.
