<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Greetings<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Through the wonders of Google it’s easy to translate the Dutch to English.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">My understanding is that in period a total of six widened new chassis were made for the Rolls-Royce powered cars. Three complete cars were made. Then sometime down the track, one
of them was in a severe accident and one of the three leftover chassis was used in the rebuild. That car was finished in red and imported into Australia in late 1974 and I drove it in January 1975. That car has since been fully restored in Old English White
and remains in Australia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">When in the UK later in 1975 I met Peter(?) Cox who was the owner of another Rolls-Royce powered car that was finished in British Racing Green. I had the pleasure of driving that
at an Austin-Healey rally at Donington Park. That is the car in the Dutch Healey Museum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The third example, also finished in white, ended up with Alan Casavant and as far as I know is in Switzerland.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Sometime in the 1980s or ‘90s a replica was made in the UK by ex-pat Australian Keith Boyer and featured in a UK magazine. I have a recollection that it was finished in red, but
I may be mistaken.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">What is interesting is the chassis number of the car coming up for auction in Belgium (not the Netherlands) is BN4460941 while the chassis number of the car in Australia is F 41.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">With anything that is rare, it’s always important to pay due diligence to its history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
