american car enthusiast paul karassik tracked down chassis no.19 in russia, adding an original engine from a separate d-type carcass and handing it over in 1990 to "crosthwaite and gardiner" to restore to its original form. in february 2007, it was due to be auctioned by christie's in paris. although expected to be the most expensive car ever sold at auction at more than $12 million, the car did not find a buyer in the sealed auction. this was because of a discrepancy that was found with the chassis and engine numbers and the fact that they did not correspond with the numbers expected to be found on the car that it was believed to be. the car went on auction in august 2009, with bonhams estimating a sale price of around £5.5million. during bonhams 2009 monterey auction, the bidding stalled at $6 million, and the vehicle was not sold.
