Carrera Abarth GTL from Sweden 1008

On the net I found an excellent story on Abarth Carrera GTL 1008 found in Sweden. Here's their story: http://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/188/articles/northern-light?page=3#.UpOTm8SsjTo


On the owner history part it says " After lying dormant for a year, GTL 1008 was sold to Swedish auto collector and occasional racer Richard Cederlund. An amateur, he competed in local club events half-a-dozen times in 1964 with some success. Former Stockholm Sportvagnsklubb official Björn Bellander writes in his history of the group that Cederlund “…kept his cars for his children, but they were not interested.” After a divorce, his collection was sold."
"1008 entered the consciousness of California restorer and vintage racer Steve Tillack in 1992, not long after he learned that the vast car collection of fugitive Swedish real estate financier Hans Thulin was being liquidated. While negotiating with Thulin’s creditor banks, Tillack was tipped off about another private collection. He had been looking for a GTL and had compiled a list of the known surviving chassis and where they were located."
--------------------------------------------------------

So while I think EXCELLENCE is indeed excellent, I got lost on the curve and seek enlightenment. Was the car Tillack bought from Thulin collection or another collection he discovered at the same time he was trying to buy Thulin's car? And has it ever been printed what Cederland sold his car for (or maybe the whole collection, with a list of the cars?)

Inquiring minds want to know....
