That German car sounds really interesting, please keep me posted if anything firm surfaces.
When we went down to the museum for the 50th back in 2019 a couple of the old guys from Porsche who worked originally on the 914, were interested in my cay and came out to view it.
It would be nice to sell it to the museum but I can't see them buying a car not built in it's present configuration by them.
I think a buyer in UK or Australia are the most likely to buy it.
I've just got to think whether I market it as-is or restore it (even though it's still used occasionally on nice days), and return it to Tangerine as it was built. or sell as is. decisions decisions.

a few folks here are still trying to get to the bottom of the mystery of the hamilton's six #1. when we find out......
i'll let you know.

i saw the car when it came out of the hay shed where it was sitting with all the race cars mr hamilton owned. that was 30 years ago. but i have a very good memory.
its not in the state it was in then. it has been "improved". but we are trying to track down the photos from back then. they are with the daughters of the guy who bought the car who i knew very well. it was built as a japanese spec car, ie set up for right hand drive roads ( rhd headlights and it had jap spec warts with working j spec indicators as warts) and it was converted to rhd, apparently sometime before it got to australia. (it was driven straight from the docks here to the dealer and it was already right hand drive).
i very much doubt that was done in japan. and it came to australia via japan, it spent a short time with the japanese distributor.

all sounds like it might have been a "demonstrator" for the right hand drive world????
it did not have a production line interior.

my memory is it sure looked like a GT interior. with a curious pull handbrake under the dash from a 356.

if i was you i would leave your car as it is and pass it on. its got to here and its sort of semi intact really. why trouble yourself. you have done your job. the car still exists.
