What do you think Hanno

Interested to hear you elaborate on what you think is the cars history. Not the real deal? My understanding is that Heydrich was a nasty bastard. I know one shouldnt take to much stock out of movies but the one where he is portrayed by Kenneth Brannagh (I think that's how his surname is spelt) sent a chill down my spine. The movie also contained a brilliant performance by Colin Firth.

Not sure what you mean, as I don´t elaborate on what I think is the car's history. I have no opinion about it, all I meant to say is that in cases like this it is important the true provenance of the vehicle in question is established, rather than looking for clues which confirm the history now presented, while disregarding the clues which might contradict it. My F15A has a nick in the side of the body, and I have a wartime accident report which could be used to explain how the nick got there. 1+1=2? It´s not that easy. . . There are too many HMV´s with a made up history, while it is rare to be able to establish any vehicle history at all. On the other hand, many aircraft of which detailed records are kept, are no longer the thing they depict as 80% or more of the actual aircraft has been replaced to get it into the air again as a genuine Battle of Britain veteran or whatever  Hanno

R-Heyriechs car
we seem to be getting away from the car itself(probably my fault for portraying RH as a talented but diffident human being)...hopefully the car will turn out to have the correct provenance...then you will see whats its worth on the world market...my guess is mega bucks....and Tony remember the world is filled with nasty bastards not just on film!cheers malcolm

Two replies
Yes Malcolm, all I can say is that I agree.
Hanno, understand your point of veiw as well. Thought you were eluding to something but you were simply stating you'd like to see rock solid evidence. Something that's hard to obtain from yester year. Did not mean to de-rail the thread as I would also like to to more about the vehicle itself regardless of its history... some under bonnet pics would be nice. Nevertheless Hydriech himself is a topic, maybe not for here but one I am interested in. Probably shoud not express such a forceful opinion with little evidence after it. Have you seen the film Malcolm? "'Conspiracy" I think its called.

Heydriech
Tony I recently saw a documentry from french TV...which is probably nearer the truth..it would RH was butering up the Czech workers with high wages,social security,good food etc...and was immensly popular with the workers...of course these factories where very important to the german war effort...however mr.Churchill decided he needed stoping so sent over a couple of Free Czech Paratroopers to bump him off....you know the rest of the story!it wasnt until after the war that the communist goverment of Tito started to call him the "Hang man of Prague!" the truth is never ever black and white...but you are right a fascinating subject indeed!best regards malcolm

Is it me, or does the chrome waistline strip look to be a different shape on H's car compared to the blue one?
And if the rear wing that has been damaged, would it (even then) not be normal to replace it completely rather than just patch it up? At the moment I'm sceptical. But am interested to see if the forensic boys come up with any traces of explosive.
