    Joao, I have a strong impression that that is a MkIIIB continuation car. Have you got any more information? Ownership?

    Thanks. Just wanted to check why somebody would take a valuable car like a real T70 out to a "minor" Portuguese hillclimb

    thanks, it wasnt my best framed shot, but i felt it looked like a period snapshot... my wife runs the archives and special collections at the NPS Library. the collection includes a lot of the historical pieces from the hotel, and there are quite a few shots that are very similar to this.
