Aston Martin DB2/4, built in 1954 with a body by Vignale ( designed by Michelotti, I think ) for the king Baudouin of Belgium

One of the men at that TechnoClassica stand told me that Baudouin of Belgium refused the car and actually never drove it. The whereabouts of the Vignale car were unknown for quite a long time till it was recently found.
Estimate when fully restored would be about € 2.000.000.  :o

No interest from the Rookies.  Can the experts think of anything?

No, even though he's an Editor. He hasn't logged on for about 2 years, even though if you look at his profile it says he logged on not too long ago. He says it wasn't him!
