Excited to say that I was successful high bidder on HOU800 aka EL1382 this past weekend at an auction in Norwich area. Of particular delight to me is that this is the same car that was purchased by my Fathers good friend Dr Blaine Nashold in 1986 and imported to the US. The reality is he bought it because my Dad's connection to his Father (my Grandad) Sam Wightman having such an intimate connection with the car on the design and build front at Buckland Bodyworks. I actually picked the car up with my Dad at the port in Wilmington, NC in 1986. Delighted shes back in the fold. I needed another Buckland like I needed a hole in the head but James Kent made me do it!Thanks again James for checking her out for me before I made by bidding presence known. You are a good friend!
