Does anybody know this car, still trying to understand its provenance? Apparently been in the same ownership since 1970. However the last V5C was issued in June 2025 ( Of course this may simply be a change of car details, or address). Date of original registration is odd, showing as September 1983. ...

I wonder if the highest bidder would have gone higher but was not going to bid against themselves!
They may yet come to an agreement with the vendor.

Looks like neither of the +4’s sold.
So you never know but an offer of around £50k may bag you a Supersports.
The 1938 4/4 sold for a very soothing £13k including buyers costs.

559 FYN has been up for sale for around 5 years.
Back then looking for around £34k, more recently around £24k.
Once owned by Jim Lowry.
It’s had some chassis repairs and has a strange kink in the OS bulkhead which the photos fail to show.

Have seen mention of a WhatsApp group.
Which one?

Thanks Mark

If that's 559FYN then its been for sale for around the past 4 years.
Originally looking for £34k.
Chassis has been attacked where the exhaust exits and it appeared to have a kink in the OS bulkhead.
Jim Lowry brought it back from the USA.
Might be worth reconsidering.

Cheers

Hi Mark

Thanks, but I am really looking for a 2str

Best

Hi Mark

Great photo

Just read your letter to Machiel in the February 2024 issue of Miscellany.
Nice to own a car with period competition history.

Kevin

Hi Mark.

Still looking for a post “ bustle back” +4.
Not looking for a “trailer queen”

Hi Eddie

Yes still looking for the right +4.
But can’t stretch to a Supersports!

Seasons greetings

Spotted this today on Car & Classic. https://www.carandclassic.com/la/C1984782?bsft_aaid=a5ce63ed-6419-48b8-adb6-8692f74daf04&bsft_clkid=534f2e34-9131-43c7-b28e-4cdc0fce9949&bsft_eid=dd13a4f8-e3e2-4694-ae28-95831dcb718d&bsft_ek=2025-12-07T07%3A17%3A03Z&bsft_lx=6&bsft_mid=d471...

I hope that it's not the end but I understand the problem.
With regard to cost is there any way that we can contribute?

Now looking for 125k USD, approx 100k GBP

For me its all about principles and getting to the truth.
However the truth may hurt and there is money involved!
