The Piggott book has the following comment alongside the same photo used by the
auction house:
"The colour scheme on NOJ 393 is interesting, to say the least. Still, there's
no accounting for what was done 40 years
ago - 'the past is another country' as they say."
The car was rebuilt after the LeMans crash, presumably the paint was applied
then.
Also from the book:
"Jack Scott heard rumours of its existence and he and two others finally
purchased it, each contributing 50# (pounds) to
the cost so the story goes. Jack bought the two friends out to become sole
owner, which he still is more than 35 years
later."
Gotta be the ultimate barn find, for sure.
