It was shipped to England in 1960 and into the care of David Walker of Hampshire, who registered it on English plates in 1964. In the 1980s, it was owned by Jack Bruce of Guildford, Surrey. During 1982, ownership passed to Angus Graham of Reading, Berkshire, and then in 1984-1985, it was completely restored.
Around 1986 it was sold to Shuuichi Ibuki of Nara, Japan. It returned to the United States in the early 2000s and passed through several California owners before Victor Preisler acquired it and treated it to a compressive detailing. The work was rewarded with a Gold (in Class 4) at the 2004 FCA International Concours d'Elegance in Monterey, California. In 2007, it became the property of Lee Pillsbury, who drove it on the Colorado Grand that year and showed it at the Cavallino Classic in 2008. The current owner acquired it in 2012. It has since been displayed at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, in August 2013 and on multiple editions of the California Mille and Colorado Grand, where it performed without fault.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2016
