I thought that link was enough to inspire some conversation. Met Barry Clarke at Beaulieu sitting beside his hot RK but would be interested to know more about this project and when it came about, if anyone else knows anything about it!
I suppose as its only from photo basis, it inevitably must be more construction from vision than rigorous analysis, but it seems interesting nonetheless.
Has it had an UK history, does anyone remember?

I think Barry built this about five years ago. It was on the market three or four years ago, and initially I was almost tempted, but I felt the rear body line and other details were not quite right. I suspect the 'original' may never have been built - the only period illustration is a heavily retouched photo which may well be just an artist's rendition. A nice car, but a bit too pricey for me.
