Same here,
I already sent a request to one of the editors of PWC if he could send me the text and photo('s).
If he replies to this request I will post the info tonight.
regards, bart

441237 has been owned by J.E.M. Gee in the UK for well over fifty years and has been a regular visitor to Prescott for many years.

If this car has been a regular visitor to prescott,then I assume it was on a trailor? It does not look as if it has been touched for fifty years!

The car known as 441237 was fully restored over fifty years ago and has remained in excellent condition with Jeffrey Gee.

Are we talking about the same car, then?

To call this car "well maintained" is a little over the edge, I guess.

The photographs of Christoph Grohe are recent.
It is the same body, but it is not the same car.

There would exist three identical body
- The 441237 in UK
- another in the USA

i took this at the garden party in 2000 i managed to get a lift in this car in the dickie seat on one of its ascents of prescott, it was pretty scary as the driver and co driver took it in turns to manover the car around the circuit, at that time the car was immaculate
