Just to let everyone know, this car is being shipped back to the US after being away 55 years. It should arrive in about a month and will be under my care until a buyer can be found. Being in the US, it will be very easy for people to see it up close.

Loaded yesterday (with all the parts) for the trip to the port. Expected delivery back in the USA is mid August. (slow boat I guess)

The Hemmings ad link is no good.

Charley,
The Hemmings ad was months ago and has since expired. You can delete it from my post if you want, so it doesn't waste people's time. I can supply the full history of the car (as known to date) to anyone who is interested.
Once it reaches our shores again, Old Cars Weekly will be publishing an article about its homecoming.

Verne, could you please PM me with the history?

Thanks
Tony

PM sent in two parts because it's long.
