Corse I for Auction

It was a late entry to the auction Guy. So it had a Lot no. towards the very end of the auction.
Sadly I didn't hang around that long after the 911 got sold so I have no note of price in my catalogue.
I had a brief look round it and certainly don't remember seeing that fuel tank from within the car so I'm guessing the fireproofing has been removed for some reason or other since the sale.

I know this car well.....I stored it for the owner for a year or so. I don't want to divulge too much about him as he was a customer, but let's just say whoever buys it will have a few "issues" to sort out. Paintwork was pretty awful (stripes weren't even straight!), it didn't run right, needed proper fuelling sorted out, and had some driveline issues too. General build was ropey so I think there would be a lot more things lurking for the new owner.

What did it actually sell for on the day? I didn't see what the winning bid was.....

I which car Mark? The Corse or the Beta?

sorry for confusion....the Beta.

No worries Mark, to be fair I thought there was a chance you could be talking about either car!
Stuarts Corse looked very impressive, but if one was being critical it may have been possible to level that accusation at the paintwork.
I also would not have been that surprised if it did have the odd fueling issue as, if I remember correctly, the tank was not baffled and there was no swirl pot.
I left the auction before the Beta came under the hammer but maybe results are on the Morris Leslie website?
