[Cairns888]

This is what the forum is all about. Sharing someone's good fortune and hopefully seeing it restored back to original.
Well done and good luck.

Thanks

Holy Moly. (and good morning from over the pond )
If true, it will be of major significance.

300 005 will basicially be a 901 prototype car.
300 001 and 300 002 are part of 13 documented 901 prototype's, of which only 1, 13327 "Barbarossa" is still known today, together with a planned 901 convertible. Both are located in the US.

Aichele writes, much more than 13 prototypes were used, 005 could be one of these. Many got later destroyed, some were sold.

Nice find, subscribed.

Incredible find, compliments!
They are still out there, even under not so nice appearances

Probably such a historically significant car should be bought by the factory Museum, but in any case can't wait to see it restored!

What a great car to own and with such historical significance.

How will not having the original drive train affect this car, if at all?

I will be following this story as well,

The best part of this story is the car was "Found" by the long time owner of the car and not someone else. Congrats.
