I think this goes up for auction today, the 29th, (well it's the 29th here anyway).
Rebuilt by Bob Chamberlin from the original engine. Failed to sell here and has been moved on to the US.

I really like the radiator. First one I have seen like that.

Unbelievable build. i cant imagine what it was like to see this car in person back in the day. Most people would be comparing it to a Model T.
