The story on this Hooper bodied car which had a perspex top similar to Queen of England's Rolls' is that the French rep of Frank Dale & Stepson , the famous UK used Rolls dealer, found it in the basement of a nightclub on the Riviera and bought it, having to demolish a wall to get it out. I was wondering if anyone knows what he bought it for, I suspect a bargain price.
The car was fly yellow when he bought it and was repainted two tone, gray over navy blue but I fthink failed to reach reserve at a subsequent auction in the UK. If anyone knows about how this car was bought I'm interested only in the barn finding phase not what it's worth now.
