My own car bought two weeks ago after 2 years hunt. Parked in a hay barn in the Alps since 1967. Dirty but good original state. In need of serious restoration though. Interesting reported history to be reconsituted. More details to come ...

Richard I write a column in the XK Gazette which you may know.
With your agreement I would like to mention this "discovery" in my next piece.
Is that OK
