The car is described as largely original and preserved, with single ownership from the mid-1950s to 2012. It underwent a mechanical re-commissioning after being acquired from the previous owner's estate, which included replacing wiring, upgrading connecting rod bolts, cleaning the fuel stem and radiator, and rebuilding the generator.
