I'd be very surprised if you didn't get an entry for LMC with this.

Good luck.

sorry for the inconvenience, I just had to....
I only travelled to the fax machine
(then had to call my secretary to explain it)

Personally, I thought the estimate was low on purpose and expected it to exceed that, especially compared to what a Lotus 11 fetches these days with the Kieft beeing so much rarer and invitable.
