I had this emailed to me a couple of weeks ago from Cars International. Must be worth a fair few £'s, especially as 6 tractor units are included. I bet an existing race team will take it on, can't see an individual wanting to buy it (unless Rowan / Paul Knapfield fancy it, or even Flemke - would make a gerat holiday home near the 'ring )

With the size of it, it'd make a great HOTEL near the 'ring!!!

Kinda cool but limited in what it can be used for. I wonder if they are keeping it in Kensington, i might have to go check it out on Thursday...

[hurstg01]

The Mews are kinda small, it certainly won't fit near the showroom. Maybe try their workshop near Newbury if you want to see it

I was kidding

And 6 tractor units to haul it! But when all is said and done, it'd look nice on my lawn in Scotland for the annual picnic! Just need to add an LM, a GTR and a Longtail in front off it to welcome and usher the guests in!

Good news gentleman. I was in Kensington last night and saw the sign for Cars international. So thought I'd have a quick look through the window. (Phone pics)

Recognise anything?



They also have this beautiful 300SL which I thought you might appreciate.

I'd love to be there when the get the cars out to move the around the showroom - #27R is always in a bad place for photo's [possibly deliberately so?] so to see it out in the Mews for a while must be a good photo opp

[hurstg01]

I have it on [very] good authority () that #27R is in a better position at the moment for a look-see; no longer tucked away at the back but now, same side of the showroom, but at the front .

I am seeing it offered for 1MM GBP.

1 million GBP doesn't seem an extortionate amount under current/climbing F1 values.

You are correct.

[carbuilder2002]

You need to bear in mind that a longtail is really only suitable for track use as Lanzante clearly advised me that to undertake modifying one for the road would result in a car that would be severely restricted as to what sort of roads it could be driven on.
