Subject: Re: Another V12 barnfind
That car (FLD 1 and chassis 14083) was sold as part of the Ellard collection in 1984, described as Hooper body and specially built for the wife of a director of Hooper. Its condition in 1984 was "very good" despite being in store for the previous 20 years - prior to that it was one of Ellard's own favourites in which he drove 20,000 miles.
Hard to compare the magazine pic with the Ellard catalogue - photographs are poor - so not sure if it is the same car - Ellard swapped bodies and engines among his big collection.
I would expect that the registration has been transferred by now, as it would be very valuable to those who care about vanity plates.
