I hope we get a chance to see the interior. I'm also pleased to see the car is still there as I had some concern with present values that it might have moved on.

Yeah, knew it was coming as my brother walks past it on his way to work. Still surprised by both being there

By 'Public Outing' I meant more than just usage - it obviously has been used - so maybe 'Public Event' would have been better.

As for 049 still being in the country, I doubt we will see it move away for a very long time. The family that own it have plenty of money and still own their solid and successful company, and it is an appreciating asset. They may be very private people, but they are genuine car nuts so I suspect it would take something big for them to part with it.

The owner of 018 is even richer and an ex racing driver, so doubt he will sell his either. Presumably you have some insight to this from the 20th anniversary rally Erik
