Not sure that the Swallow would still seem a bargain if you had to pay shipping to the UK as well as Whatever percentage RM/Sothebys charge as a buyers premium.

That Austin Dorset Gasser is a particularly famous car; but reading the auctioneer's description it does sound that it is a bit of a "Trigger's Broom" in relation to the actual car that was raced back in the '60s

Here's a link to an article about the Gasser in question. http://www.austinworks.com/gas-west.html...0Mazmanian

Not my "thing" but I appreciate the history. No doubt why it went for good money.

Hi Tony,

I believe it says Monmouth Motor Co Ltd around the top and Monmouth on the bottom.

Cheers
