Richard Hughes again after reading some of your posts I must add that the engine is a Claude Hill 1999 cc straight 4.

The engine and gearbox were from the Spa car that is true but most other mechanicals were those left on the BMW 320 chassis.

I would enjoy knowing what has happened to the old girl if any of your members know please.

Hi Richard (last post on this subject) sorry I am unfamiliar with this stuff. I came across info on this site of my old car, I to owned this car back in late sixties sold it in 1970 in West Sussex UK. My new wife and I toured the UK on our honeymoon for 2 weeks in August 1970, I sold it on our return and then we emigrated to Australia where we started a new life and family. Great to see photos of the old gal had some great drives in her, where are you today. Regards Bob Walton.

Hi Robert.

Which Richard are you aiming your post at?  Richard Cuyler is a regular and might be someone of your (and my!) age; he logs on and posts regularly.  If it's Richard Heseltine (probably not as he's no'but a whippersnapper) then he doesn't really log on at all any more..

Have  you got some photos of your Sigma you could post here?

I think it's Richard Hughes (aka algarve Richard) he's addressing as that Richard posted as a former owner in the original thread on this car.

I have merged these 2 threads.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
