Hi

Thanks for posting the pictures, next best thing to being there.

The dark green '40 Darrin Sport Sedan is owned by Tareshawty. It's the other design Dutch tried in a effort to create a sports sedan with the verve less expensively than the dark red example that's Charles Blackman found in Mexico City and has been restored recently. That design, style number 720 is the more heavily customized with the sectioned hood and aluminum cowl. Notice this dark green car, style 730 has full hood section and largely unmodified cowl. It's still a good looking car, better if it had the runningboard removed and sidemounts deleted (my option).
