Was told the original sale was at a London dealer who assembled and shipped to Buyer in Boston.

Not sure about the condition before the Prince restoration. The prior owner told me the car was first sent to DSK. I believe the suspension mods were done there. Then the shipment to Rockport where the frame was reinforced and restored. The aluminum skins, etc. followed. Vangard Engineering did the engine. Assume Pat Prince installed the fuel cell, dry sump, split master cylinders, Aeroquip lines and relocated the battery to the right rear. Was briefly competition autocrossed. Owner moved up to a prepared Porsche. Was advertised in Hemmings. Clutch problem caused engine removal. Complete overhaul by Unique Automotive, Louisville. Has been exhibited occasionally at local concourse events since.

Personally participated in SVRA and HSR events for about four years. Probably was not extensively used as a street car.
