"I own YR 8111 (LT1587). It has been in our family since 1973."

"This car has been in our family since 1973 and is now in my possession full time here in Colorado. No major updates since I last posted photos in 2008, but we did get a few new pictures that are more appropriate to such a great driver's car."

My father restored Chassis No. LT1587 in 1990s and I am currently the caretaker of the car which is now located in Colorado. I try to drive it once every 3 weeks or so, which gets a bit tough here during the winter — though we had a 70 degree day last Saturday and I got out for a run.

The car is mechanically very original. The Chassis No. (LT1587) is stamped in all the correct places - including the steering box and front axle. It has its original engine (HP 396 SS).

The original fenders were separated from the car may years ago and the fenders you see in the pictures were built and installed during the restoration.

It's a good driver, though it runs a bit hot.

According to Michael Hay, this car was owned by J.E. Dale in the United States of America in 1973.

"Dear Mona, I would also be interested in contacting the owner of YR 8111 as this belonged to my grandfather Mr A Stewart. I note this car has since had its wings changed. (Never had its original fenders on the car since the time our family came to own it in 1973. — Jeremy Dale - Owner, Oct 10, 2017)"

My grandfather then owned GH 1932, followed by BUW225 Derby (unknown whereabouts).

My other grandfather owned NU 9530 (still in the family.) All three cars were his family crew. Not necessarily the most practical post-war family cars."
