The example modelled was first registered on April 6th 1970 in Middlesex and was bought by long-term owner Peter Coombs in 1977. He had it resprayed in the classic colour scheme of white with a green stripe in 1984 after it had been stolen then recovered with front-end damage; a previous owner had painted it mustard yellow with a spray-on black vinyl roof! However, he then had the car comprehensively restored over a 12 year period from 1988 by SV Oakey & Sons, Stow-on-the-Wold, returning it to its original red. Current owner Howard Law, from Kent, bought it in June 2006, second time lucky, having been outbid in an internet auction a year earlier.
