When I met Colin Crabbe at Monterey some years ago I didn't know about his D-types found in Cubra.
Since saw mention of XKSS766 and XKSS725 but I wanted to know if the two or three he found in Cuba
and brought back to the UK were all authenticated as genuine D-types or at least XKSS cars?
I am also interested in how he found them (scout in Cuba?) and if it is merely an old rumor that one of the cars
had been pranged and had an E-type nose so those seeing it parked assumed it was just an E-type?
Finally has it been printed what he paid for them or traded? It seems like a truck full of '55 Chevy parts would go a long way
toward trading material for an exotic in Cuba as the streets seem full of American iron of '50s vintage.
Were the British car dealers the main "raiders" of the treasures of Cuba , I know Americans were forbidden to fly there, so I guess they had an advantage for some years. What other European dealers were looking for exotic cars there?
I thought at this date Jan. 29th, things were thawing between Cuba and the U.S. but I think Castro spoke up the other day
and is putting the freeze back on...
