This 1956 Devin-bodied Special was acquired as a roller in 2001 by the seller, who had seen it race in Tecate, Mexico in the early 1960s and later found it listed for sale in a magazine in Atascadero, California in the 1990s.

Based on a Triumph TR3 chassis, the build was completed between 2001 and 2004, and the car has since seen regular use in the Sports Racing class at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion as well as at Sonoma, Coronado, Buttonwillow, and Willow Springs racetracks.
