Robert told me that it had infact been the spare works car at Le Mans, and had been owned by Hamish Longden, who had painted it midnight blue from metallic red. He further informed me that Hamish and Robert's father, Peter Green had been close friends at University, and had both been instrumental in the construction and technology of Jodrell Bank radio telescope. Amazingly, when Hamish upgraded to a DB5 in the late 1960's he actually GAVE the car to Peter!!! Considering it's potential worth of probably well over a million pounds today, that was quite some gift!!!
Peter's widow, Robert's mother has apparently been approached by someone researching the car recently, but she and Robert have no idea where it is these days, although there was a suspicion it is somewhere in the West Country. Can anyone on the forum shed anymore light on the car's history, and any current updates?
