Does anyone know how much VW9 sold for recently? I ask as Stuart Lewis-Evans son would like to know, and he tells me he called to find out and was given short thrift!

Well, that seems like one good way of saving money.

Would that be Steve Lewis Evans, who posted here briefly? It's a shame that Hall & Hall misspelt his father's name in their blurb:

Do Hall & Hall actually own all the cars they advertise for sale, or do they sell some on commission?

VW9 used to be in the Donington Collection. As the H & H blurb says that it was 'bought by the current owner direct from Vandervell' I assume they're selling it on behalf of the Wheatcroft family.

"Bought by the current owner direct from Vandervell"

The wording in the blurb would suggest that they were acting on behalf of a third party in the sale of VW9.
