[ROVERNET - UK] Unique P6s for sale ! ex-works rally, convertible

[Brooks]

There's absolutely no question that the "Ex-works rally car from the 1966 
season" has been replaced by a fine (at best) replica. The owner has made no 
secret of that fact nor could anyone really believe that a car with a token 
amount of originality could be considered as anything otherwise. The replica 
is very nice but it remains just that.

 Regards

 Dennis Brooks

Given that the Rally car has had a new shell it does raise the old chestnut
of " what is original". What you are actually getting for your £6000 is 
probably
some original rally car parts fitted to another shell. In fairness the 
seller
makes no secret of the fact but unfortunately from my point of view this
is not an 'original' merely a very well prepared replica with many original
parts and carrying the original documentation. I have no doubt I will stir
up a variety of views and opinions but for my money I would want a original,
original not an original replica. I appreciate the shell was rotten and 
beyond
saving and therefore the only option was a new sheel, and I am genuinely
pleased it has survived in this form, but original!!! Can it honestly be
THE '65 Rally Car? Your opinions and comments
will be viewed with interest.
