When the car was found in Northern California, it was stored for over 30 years. It was complete with all its parts but in need of complete restoration that took almost three years. The car was imported to Europe in 2017 and completely disassembled and taken to the bare metal then carefully rebuilt, piece by piece, to perfection in a factory cream with red leather interiors. The car is painted and restored in the original colour-interiors combination.
