The car purchased in Pleasanton did not end up in England. It is in the Bay
Area currently under a frame up restoration. It did not fetch $115 k the
original purchaser is restoring the car. This is one more reason we have to be
careful what is said on this list. All your facts about this Factory 100 M are
wrong except for that it was purchased in Pleasanton.

$100K 'over there' this car might have fetched more than $115K if left in the
original condition, without the expense of the restoration.
