Default Returning to the question in hand

I have not seen the car for years, but it was certainly smart enough 15 - 20 years ago, but then most of us were in better nick then! It has spent most of its life being owned by members of the BOC.

In the late 1980s (and possibly earlier) it was owned by Richard Timmis in Bishop Stortford, Herts.,

in 1998 the ownership changes to Richard Sheenhan in London, SW1,

changing the following year to Graham Emmett in Northwich, Cheshire,

and the trail ends in 2006 with Bill Skinner in Nottingham.

How it then turns up in Devon is anyone's guess, but the seller's feedback would suggest he finds a fair number of restoration projects.

I was marginally tempted by this car as I want to return to Bristol ownership, but as I cannot get down to Exeter to view it and knowing just how much two friends spent renovating the corrosion in 603s (and there would seem to the casual eye to be a fair bit here — anyone ever found the photographs to be less good than the reality?), I shall sit tight and look on to see what it reaches in this auction.

Good luck bidders

George
