Paul,
Do you think he could be persuaded to let the car visit Gaydon for a photo
opportunity?
Graham Bosworth, a local artist of note who exhibits regularly at the Museum
also has a
fabulous painting of the sister car - 929 HP in that same race. It's still
unsold and I
think he wants about 450 quid for it. Graham's work is outstanding and I'm
presently
working with him in creating a website so that others can see what he can do.
No financial
interest on my part for accruing sales if the site goes on my server. I just
want other
people to be able to enjoy Graham's work.
John
