Hi David,
Not sure where it is going yet? Will try and keep track.
Prototype, yes. Good condition, uhm? Not much done mechanically for years.
Cheers
Michael

Special Sports record price?
The protype SS sold at auction on Saturday for AUD$97000 but with buyers premium AUD$104,000. Amazing!
Maybe people are begining to appreciate the Daimler Special Sports, a rising tide liftsa ll ships - hopefully.

PS see you at Peebles.
