"Insider Look: The Untold Story of the Open Red Sports Racing Car Prototype's £80k Sale at Chateaux Impney Auction"

When Frank Costin designed the Open red sports racing car prototype in

1965, I never imagined it would generate so much interest. It was an

ambitious project that required a lot of hard work and dedication, but it was

worth it.

50 years later after a ‘Barn find’ the very dilapidated prototype wreck was

sold at the prestigious Chateaux Impney Auction in June 2016, where the

bidding reached an astonishing £80,000. It was both a proud and exciting

moment for me and a future testament to the many hundreds of hours put

in by the dedicated expert restoration team.
