Thanks for posting the pictures Tan Top. As a matter of interest, the back in the day photos on the auction link show a white Bird also. That one was originally a tor red car that returned to the USA many years ago.

The Ahmet Denizer car.    Goes way back in the UK as the listing states.    He was a member of Winged Warriors Limited early on.

In the picture of the four Birds together in Battersea Park, London, 'EYF 27J' was a 6bbl auto car owned for many years by a fellow named Alan Gould, who sadly passed a few years ago. The last I saw of it, it was for sale in a dealers in Belgium. I also believe it was the first Bird to come to England. The red Bird I think is the same one painted white in the other pictures. The blue one I think belonged to Steve Williams, but I stand to be corrected. I have no idea where in the world it is now.

more photos and info that the auction house posted on 10/03/2020

Barn stored for over thirty years! This Superbird is offered due to bereavement. When the car arrives on site, we will get it running. Further details including the video production and details of provenance will be updated in due course. UK registered in 1976 and owned by the vendor since 1984.

Looking at the underside, it had a 1980's restoration.

Yes Carsten, Tony O owned 'EYF 27J' after Alan. The only winged car I have actually driven. Thank you for the new information on it, 'an old friend'. I have since been told that the blue Bird above is still in England, and is the one owned and restored by 'JC'.
