The car has been restored twice, each time to a high standard, first in 1990, and again much more recently. Under current ownership, the car has benefited from extensive sorting, and is now reported to be equally well prepared for driving or the concours circuit. Further evidence of the recent restoration's quality is evident in details such as accurate colors, square weave carpets, and wood door trim.
