The car has undergone a complete mechanical restoration, with the engine, transmission, and clutch rebuilt. The engine bay and chassis were fully detailed. It was shown at the 2012 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Since then, the car has been regularly exercised. With reliability and power in mind, the engine has been upgraded with a larger cylinder head, correct for a late S1, as well as with a dual two-inch SU carburetor setup.
