    Yep, LJK was half a nut with an odd fascination for Honda Preludes.

    Just a little anecdote about Jenks -
    He did not believe Jochen Rindt would ever win a GP, to the point where he was prepared to shave his beard of if it ever happened.
    Cut to late '69, Rindt had won the US GP at Watkins Glen. A week later, in the bar at Brands Hatch, Jenks struts in beardless to the delight of all in attendance.
    We had a few that evening, the beardless wonder actually shouted the bar!!! :D

    "Ferrari Refutes the Decline of the West" - an article by PJ O'Rourke for R&T about delivering the Ferrari 308 GTS from NY to LA to be used for the shooting of "Magnum PI". From where I stole (modified, embellished, and re-used many times) the description of a Porsche as an arse-engined Nazi slot car.

    I would say it’s worth far less as it is Joe.. It’s sale proof IMO... Unless it could be easily put back to an original 250 PF coupe which I highly doubt...

    IMO same value as a 250pf of same year/condition . Ian would have a better idea of its value..

    Mmm ok , given the $$ some examples bearing only the original chassis tag make ,I would have thought the market would have a kinder opinion.

    I'm with you Greg, I'd very happily have it & enjoy it, it's Nick Kelly's car, I race with him, he sent it to Great Britain for the recreation, it is very well done & beautiful in the flesh.
