Hi all: Just refurbishing the running gear on my 1962 Harrington Le Mans which I recently removed from my father’s garage, being parked there in 1988. The garage having gaps for wind to get through preserved the body with only a 2 inch weld to do the rest being factory original. Paid £1000 at the time; hope to get on the road this year 2022 all chrome and soft trim was stored in his loft so is perfect I have the full service history I found a pair of no wing badges on ebay for £50 recently. Last time I drove it I was 26 lol. The car is still on the to be found list. However it was the national concours winner in 1978. Rich In Yorkshire UK

The Moonstone white Harrington photo in your wonderful synopsis is my USA Promotional Harrington Le Mans (PHLM) as it appeared for the Grand opening (June, 2012) at the LeMay – Americas Car Museum. It debuted at the 1962 Twelve Hours of Sebring followed by the 1962 New York International Auto show. It was raced by Greg Vederoff on the US West Coast during the 1962 racing season. I also have the 1962 Works Sebring Alpine #41 driven by Peter Harper and Peter Pocter where they took third in class. Jan Iggbom is an automotive historical champion for maintaining the Harrington Alpine site.

As buildings can be recognised as art, as works of engineering, such as steam locomotives, can be recognised as art, so it should also be with cars.

Thank you.
