[January 2001]

This car was for sale at Marv Sholl's Exotic Motor Cars in Palm Springs for $125,000. 66,760 miles. The car was restored in a champaign color.

[Update August 2001]

The seller repainted it maroon. In August 2001, the car was purchased by Washington DC interior designers Rob Brown and Todd Davis (according to a phone call to me by Todd) for use at their new home in Palm Beach FL.

[Update October 2002]

I'm not sure of the whole story, but this puppy is for sale still (or again) through Marv Sholl in Palm Springs. See the ad. The copy reads as follows:

Mulliner Park Ward. Very rare left-hand drive model with only 60K miles. A restoration was just completed which included a rebuilt engine, brake system with updated air conditioning for modern use. A fine addition to any collection or great driver. $139,900.

I also have photos from when it was for sale earlier this year by the Blackhawk Collection.
