This car is one of only two originally delivered to Britain.
Abandoned for years it was eventually unearthed behind a butcher's shop in 1987 and is now
in consequence known as the 'butcher's car. Owned by the Hon Michael Kadoorie of Hong Kong, the restoration of the car which has preserved it's originality was completed in 1994 and has led to 'Best of Show' at Bagatelle and first in class at Pebble Beach. |
