Peter did an exellent job, with his collection and opening it up for public, but not all cars were 100 % real. Made up from period parts and I feel very sad, that his collection, is destroyed by someone, to get richer.
I like original cars and their history, but I like 'Continuation' cars too, without their history.
So when Mr. Kidstone, found the missing chassisnumbers, great and it would be easy, to trade back the history of the cars, cause they are only 40 years old. Some period owners, should be living. But I think, I was reading, that he is assuming the numbers and that means to me, you have to be carefull and you have to do your own research, if you like to buy this cars, but I like them.
Otherwise, why the owner, OWNER of an auctionhouse, is selling this important T 33 collection, by a dealer???
