Cool shots. I especially like last pic, only wonder what old german plates are doing on this car.

It was an old photo before those new European plates came out. The car's owner had the car pretty much all over the world. Used to have Arizona plates at one stage as well.

Nice find Mike! Thanks for sharing. Great to see the car out getting some sun.

Do you know where this was shown? Public event of some sort? Funny how it appears they put paper over the license plate for the display.

I know you are aware, but this is chassis #037 for anyone else who might be keeping track.

The German plates in the last shot probably arrived with the car from its previous owner as that is where this one started life.
