After
extensive research, as there are so few comparables available for the
quality of my car, $30,000.00 is a figure I have been quoted from a number
of sources listed below.
I would like to find “Natasha” a good home with someone who would
appreciate the quality of the car.
This car is virtually un restored. Primarily engine work over the years to
keep it running well with 43,500 on its original engine. It was in Dick
Baker’s private collection for a number of years in Ontario prior to it
coming to me.
This article, posted on the Tigers East, Alpines East website is the
actual car which I own:

(then go to Rootes Review then to “The Story of Dr. John Bruney’s
LeMans”)
In 2004 Dennis Gage did a write up and TV show on the ABFM – Episode
9004 (All British Field Meet) at the Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver, BC. http://www.myclassiccar.com/MCCTV/20...sodeinfo.shtml
VIN #: 9115839
The car is running well and has passed air care here in Vancouver
(Canada). I have put in a new water pump & clutch and have gotten the
cylinders re-done and head and valves cleaned etc and have put in new
bearings, rings, valve seals etc. so it runs smoothly. I also got the
camshaft re-tooled. In the past year or two I have also put in new Zenith
carbs + the brakes. If I had not mentioned it earlier, it has overdrive as
well.
