The car was built on 27-28 August 1958, painted Old English White and with a black interior. It was dispatched to the USA on 29 August 1958.  It came back to the UK on 09 December 1996, having spent the previous 22 years in a barn in San Diego.  The car underwent a 16 month total rebuild to original specification. 

Subsequently, it has had a number of modifications:
