Given the banged-up ex-racer 100M that a guy bought (scammed?) from a widow in 
Pleasanton that was sold/shipped to 
England and appeared to sell for over $100K 'over there' this car might have 
fetched more than $115K if left in the 
original condition, without the expense of the restoration.

Oh, the irony ...
