That judging was allegedly done ten years ago when we had no judging guidelines.  Who knows what it would score today but it is a very nice looking car.  Is that a new record price for a Darrin?

The motor definitely needs some cosmetic attention.

The car certainly presents well. Until, that is, you open the hood...but that's nothing a new head gasket, some cleanup and some paint can't fix.

I had an open question about the clutch return spring but looking at the pictures, I now know where it's to mount!
