Hi

But, at that price, will it ever get it's wheels dirty again? |

Hi
I am not sure, if so, I would hate to see the insurance!  Bit of a shame if it doesn't but at least a UK collector has it, and it is not lost to another country.
Cheers

Hi
Did the two famous founders not meet in a Hotel in Manchester, and shortly had a factory in Manchester and Derby. I know they met in Manchester, and both Derby and Manchester ring a bell as far as factorys go, but not sure when on the time line.
Cheers
