There can't be many of these about?

No connection to the seller or auction house.

I don't think so, didn't Roland Glazebrook re-body his as a full four-seater? This one appears to retain its original American body by Hayes and Miller; Gallery Aaldering sold a similar car a couple of years ago, but that had wire wheels.

Roland's Theta had a different registration, unless it has been changed recently.

This is Roland's car, which Bonham's sold for him last year. The photograph is oddly unflattering. The car is very handsome in real life. As is the one in this thread, though less glamorous perhaps.

Sorry, but I disagree; the Bonhams car (Roland's?) has different wings, a scuttle ventilator but no passenger door. This is a totally different car and according to the description was restored by (or for?) Malcolm Elder in the 1990s.
