Some photos of a coys auction I attended back in 2002
If I remember rightly the red one which is a lot rusty was a early car originally owned or prepared by coombs .... that wasn't actually raced it was just a back up car and it sold for 72 K which seemed crazy back then .... the last photo was at Donnington at the 40th anniversary and Phillip Porter invited me to sit in 9600HP it had not long been restored



This ss100 is the one that Airfix used to scale down to 1/32 plastic kit they produced in the mid 70s ..... I remember building one but I put the wide wheels on it from the porsche race car of the time (couldn't leave things standard when I was a kid either )

And we'll known sprint and hill climb car if I remember rightly






This last one was mid 2001 at the 40th anniversary. Phillip invited me to sit in it . I don't need asking twice. This was still a few months away from getting mine

Such beautiful cars. i can't believe the red one sold for 72k. I hope they restored it.

Cant see much similarity!

Don't doubt it though.

Wonder how much of the original is left.

Its the murky world between restoration, repairing and replacement.

As the ancient Chinese Philosopher once said, "some things are best left undocumented".
