Gotta love the respect for Jim Clark, but, really?

The artwork on the front cover must have cost a lot.

Personally, I don't like it, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion on that.

So far, we’re all in agreement. It’s a nice picture of Clark but I’d rather it as a poster or a framed picture than painted on the bonnet of a car. The other stickers are silly too, IMHO.

I would have much preferred to see some photos of the engine compartment than a trunk tray full of rusty bits!

This TC was on Ebay in early 2022. It didn't sell at $18K without all those stickers. It is on Ebay now for $40K with all stickers. Stickers covered up spider cracks?

"The items removed from the car come with it. with the exception of the original steering wheel ( It will hang on the wall of my shop)"

As they say, when buying a car sight unseen on an auction site, you have to go with your vibes about the seller's credibility! (not to mention awareness - how hard is it to hit the "Seller's Other Items" link?)  Just saying.......
