Seller has had some questions about the car, one response was "the car that this plate attains to is in the UK and being rebuilt". Another from the seller was "I bought this car from a friend who smashed it up. I was 16 at the time and thought I could fix it. It was a roadster with Borrani wire wheels and mostly all almuninm body. I kept it in the back yard for a few years until I went to college and my dad sold it for $500 to a guy who collected foreign cars. This was in 1964."
