Thank You ScuderiaCC, most of these photos are completely new to me.

It always puzzled me why the Schlumpf brothers modified the Shakespeare T40 pick-up so radically until I discovered (thanks to Jaap Braam Rubin) there are two T40 with commercial vehicle bodies owned by them and only one of them ever went near the Sahara.

T40 : 40485

Part of the consignment of Bugattis sold to Schlumpf by Shakespeare. Not the Sahara car, was part of the 'reserve Schlumpf collection' and today owned by Peter Mullin.

T40 : 40811

For more on the Sahara expedition see WIKI - 40811
