I notice the Coy's auction description has been modified to dodge the authenticity of the car by Coy's. I believe this is a result of Jean and Mike W-W rather than input from Peel Engineering.
actually I took the initiative of contacting both Mike W-W and Coy's myself and attaching an article I wrote about the sales "history" of that particular car to put things into context.
Mike had no idea his name was being used to advertise the vehicle in question.
At the time his name was attached to the listing offering a "certificate of authenticity". He wrote back to say that while he had issued the car a "dating certificate" some time in the past it was not what the seller claims. Mike was the one that contacted Coy's and asked to see this "certificate" that was being advertised and apparently got them to change the auction listing.
It will not matter for a buyer outside the UK though.
Coy's never responded to me but Mike and I had a nice little back and forth and I learned a bit.
Apparently this "dating certificate" was what was used to register this vehicle as a 1964 model.
Mike says he does this all the time and cannot recall when it was issued or if he dated a wreck
(as the seller originally claimed at one point) or if it was a complete vehicle. He says he will dig into his records to see what -if anything- he has in the way of notes, but he seemed to be completely unaware that replicas were available or at least available to a high standard.
