A leap or an opportunity? After painting up a few vans and a KR200 in the Wiener collection returned good results this will rank with the Vic Hyde car and is also a fine early car as well. Expect a similar price, was it around $85k. I need to become famous for something and get this sort of bunts for mine. I wonder what happened to Bob Hope's Schmitts?

This vehicle appeared on a "Reality" TV show recently where these guys "found" it and bought it for $10,000 USD.
I highly doubt it will go for the a very high price.  Unfortunately this auction house does not have TV coverage or even web-streaming coverage of their auctions and they don't seem to post results until much much later on after the auction is completed.

Or it will bomb as it is for sale with a crap auction house...... A little knowledge coming in there to bite me.
