LOL! It was a bit of a sad time when it went, I think it was about '59 or thereabouts. My father sold it to a local 'enthusiast' because it was rather thirsty, the triple SU's could gobble petrol at an alarming rate. About six months later it was advertised in Motor Sport by a Park Lane dealer for £6,000. That was a LOT of money back then. My father had been ripped off big time, but that's life as they say.
