Hmmm, poor condition. Plenty of work to bring back on the road again. ???

Needless to say, I could have bought it for a song - but it eventually went for nearly 1k over the top price he hoped to get on Ebay!! Never mind, I've just acquired a gorgeous MkD family, 1958 in red, number VON 631 which is already running happily. Does anyone know anything of her history?

I have some Cine film from the 70's of it and it has not changed a bit! Has been owned by a number of Bond enthusiasts over the years. You have bought a very nice car and a piece of Bond history.
