    2283 GT is still unrestored, and was born Verde Pimlico 12040. Super original car. Sold new to the head of Coca-Cola in France.
    Lots of unusual details on this lovely SWB. Now with its fifth owner.

    Bit of a sad news. He was always super nice when we emailed back and forth about a swb revival.

    May his memory be a blessing for his friends and family. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Very sorry to learn this. From the video interviews I watched of him he was a very likeable man. My condolences to his family.

    My heart sinks at this news. I first met Mark when I travelled to London for a project meeting and took the opportunity of a few extra days by myself for some leisure and motoring interests. I visited GTO, in Harrow at the time, a smaller shop then, and Mark kindly welcomed me. On another trip a several years on, I also took a couple of extra days after work obligations and arranged to visit GTO at Scarlett's Farm in Reading. Again Mark was most welcoming; he showed me about the shop and helped me with some parts. As I was about to depart, he said to the taxi driver a moment first please, and took me off to one of the barns and opened the door with a big smile to show me a 410,1265SA, tucked in there. A memorable day. He always took the time to say hello at a show. My sincere condolences to all of his nice family and colleagues.

    I recall the Jan Norbye essay in it being quite illuminating.

    1273 GT = 250 GT PF Coupe.

    2963 GT = 250 GT/E 2+2.

    That photo gives me nightmares. Wrenching on cars a lot I find that photo horrifying, what if you dropped your wench? Odds are it would drop all the way to the ground…

    Cheers Jim

    It is 2277 GT, very nicely photographed in sunny Melbourne, Australia... I cycled past that tree every weekend for decades, never got to see a real SWB California under it though! Cheers, Damien.

    … and if it happened often enough, coworkers working underneath would eventually take you to back of the building during lunch break and give you a lesson or two on how to hold on to your wrenches or reconsider assignment/career options. :D

    Or like working on a High Rise building; amazing how fast an Ironworker can scale the building if you dropped a tool on them! The mechanics working on the Boeing China Clipper engines tethered their tools to a hoop they wore around their neck. That way dropped tools didn't fall into the water!
