Hi Mark
Yes I know the car! I went to Performance Cars to look at it when it was in their showroom. I think this was around 1979 and it had been advertised in Motor Sport. I cannot remember how much for, though as a reference, around the same time I helped a friend pick up an un- restored type 44 Bugatti from Dan Margulies which cost him £10K.
Performance Cars were very helpful and I will look for the photo I took when the car was in the showroom.
I will give a more detailed post about the engine questions. Suffice to say that that I kept on knocking out big ends on PE 7073 to the extent that John Kirkby gave me an extra-fast turnaround service when a rod needed attention.
