Hi GT, you mean this one?

I dont know a lot about the car, but as far as i know it was imported by Stuart Keen (MMA member & European Representative) a couple of years ago, as a 'survivor' (original paint etc).
He sold it on within about a year, later appeared on display in the London Motor Museum, then next I saw of it, Alan Carrington was selling it (or trying to) for 1.5 times the amount Stuart had it up for a year earlier.
Alan had it reprayed so was prob actually worth less now it had lost its originality & interest for most collectors

There's plenty more on here that will know more about the car - Adam, Jim, TonyO....

alan c did not have it painted some other guy did al was miffed that it was a poor job and it had lost its survivor jobbie

Thanks Dunc and sorry Al if you're looking in

So has he had it repainted again to a higher standard? What justifies the higher price?

He's still got it

A car as original as that should be left well alone.

Can you imagine the Tate saying that old Turner looks a bit tatty around the edges, let's repaint it?

Might as well cut it up and race it!

Now thats more like it

what did they repaint such a original car for , lost some of its survivor history now original paint lost for ever , awesome car though

Well, I will admit, I dont really give a stuff about a survivor status in a car. If survivor status didnt bring more money, neither would amost anyone else (except the 1% of total obsessive compulsives).It has to look nice. You have to think about the views of the owner on the paint job the car HE owned had. If he wanted a mile deep finish that blinded at 100 paces, and his Hemi coronet didnt have it, then he will get it done.

I dont know why we get so hung up on here about what other people do to their cars. They aint National treasures.

Just an opinion

i would think the guy who had it after al carrington did not fully realize what he had, a survivor, and prob could not live with it being a bit ropey round the edges hence the repaint,

Muppet

Why?

I think a slightly shabby original, is better than a mint Rare car thats now not AS original..... IMHO
As you said Clive its not aNational treasure so why try and make it look like one

I agree with Clive, the only person who's going to know it's original paint is you and the people in the club, the average person who sees it down the street are just going to see the shabby paint and dings, i'd rather have a nice paint job, can't be bothered to worry about sell on value and stuff
