Fox News have the story of this Model A Rear Entry Tonneau (presumably the forerunner of the Mondeo) coming to auction with a pre-sale estimate of $300,000 to $500,000 - and it only cost $850 when new.Pistonheads, meanwhile, are reporting on another item up for auction - the Dunlop Bridge from Donington Park.
I won't be bidding because I already have the Scalextric version - I don't need the real thing.Besides, it doesn't include the metal framework which you would need in order to walk over it! Apparently that was scrapped when Donington were doing all the work to upgrade when they were getting set for their ill-fated venture into hosting the British Grand Prix.
A venture that proved to be a bridge too far.
