Yeah - I should have included that in my comments too.
There's an interesting twist with this car though - it actually has the repaired chassis originally built for GTR #27R which was crashed during its initial shakedown run. (
Edit: I should have looked this up instead of drawing from memory. The car was not actually crashed - see below.) As I understand it, they essentially swapped chassis plates between the two and then repaired the damaged car making it 28R after the fact. I wonder if that will get disclosed in Bonhams full description or how that information will be handled leading up to the auction?
