Footnotes

Founded in 1985, Proteus Sports & Racing Cars Ltd, originally of Silchester, Berkshire, has established an unrivalled reputation for quality reproductions of classic sports cars.

Commissioned by Mr Bishop and project-managed to his personal specification by him, this Proteus commenced construction in 2010 when the aluminium body with slightly larger wheel arches and tail fin was ordered from Proteus. The 3.8-litre engine is believed to be from a Jaguar MkX, and the car is currently fitted with an automatic gearbox (a four-speed manual/overdrive 'box is included in the sale). The independent rear suspension is from an E-Type, while other notable features include a full width windscreen; metal tonneau cover; dummy oil tank; Perspex headlamp covers; and a blue-trimmed interior. Accompanying photocopy documentation includes an old-style buff logbook; expired MoTs; and numerous receipts and build notes. The car is offered with its original V5C. Finished in evocative Ecurie Ecosse livery, this well-presented Proteus looks superb and is running well.
