Wasn't there a post a while back saying his wife said " you have to get rid of one of the cars"

Shame to see him selling up and selling a bit of history. Hoep they go to someone who can put the time and effort Martin put into them.

But as Gareth say's...Its none of our business what ever the reason.

only reason i have decided to sell atleast two off my five race cars is i have ran out of space to keep them all

i am more interested in raceing these days but this means a lot more spares and they also take up storage,

once i have sold any two cars i will keep the others simple really does this answer all the questions.

You are such a gentleman, offering help to people in distress.

Btw, the texaco is LHD so its no good for you. For me on the other hand....

what difference does that make? they are only cars

surely it's no different to owning any car really,even if he sells them for a profit
