Nice Provenance, but boy that Engine Bay needs some love.

Nice Find David.

Good price based entirely on provenance. Will be interesting to hear if 1) it is restored to its original specifications (costly) or 2) retained as is and enjoyed. Either way, a great story and wonderful to hear the story and the Stirling Moss tradition Pagoda continues.
I hope the new owner is in this group, and will keep us all updated.

In the same auction, they sold a Ford Escort turbo that had been owned by Lady/Princess Diana

That went for over 700,000…. :o

Surprised it went for so little, relatively speaking, given its association with Sir Sterling 😔
