Based on the description, the car underwent an exquisite restoration by marque specialists P&A Wood between 2007 and 2010. The restoration included careful disassembly and rebuilding of all components, properly finished bodywork in Richmond Blue lacquer, new electrical system, and rebuilt brakes and suspension.
