Yes. Not that secret, though. I’ve driven cars there around the Alpine route, flown some small helicopters and been driven by Roger Clark around the handling track as well as the high-speed bowl. Incredible experiences.
I did a corporate Ford driving day there 20 odd years ago had a fantastic time

I might've posted this before , can't remember

1974 when I was 13 I saw this Jensen every Saturday for 2 years when I went to work with my dad , never seemed to move

Roll on 30 years , I got diverted off the A14 , went through the same village and no! still there , it had a tarp on it but there's no mistaking that back window

A few years back it came up for sale on eBay

Not sure how much was left by the time he delivered it

Because they are away at her majesty's pleasure?
Gone on a crusade or joined ISIS?
Whatever, I sold my 58k mile mint one 15 years ago for £16.5k so if it has been there that long, it has been a very nice appreciating asset (once polished and put up on auction as 'been professionally stored and fully recommissioned, ready for it's next owner). Could make £100k!

Could be a Turbo Body or SS. But if it is a Turbo, engine probably went pop the mechanical rev limiter are quite fickle and Porsche didn’t allow any safety margin.
Apparently it is an '88 turbo, been there since '07! Double life sentance.
