Jaeger raced the car during his approximately four-year ownership period; specific events not detailed in the prose.

Original gearbox replaced with a correct, factory un-numbered unit after it failed under the demands of competition.

Replacement unit is a period-correct factory piece; the swap is documented in the car's ownership history.

A front-mounted RSR oil cooler, external battery cut-offs, and associated racing equipment were fitted to the car at some point during its competition use.

These additions were subsequently removed during the later restoration.

Comprehensive three-year nut-and-bolt restoration targeting factory-new condition: full disassembly, removal of racing modifications, media blasting of bare shell (found corrosion-free), replacement of front latch panel only, and reassembly to factory specification.

Undercoating pattern was documented before blasting; 37 factory masking points were replicated. Odometer reading of approximately 90,860 km believed to be original.

Bare-metal paint and undercoating work carried out to concours standard, replicating the original factory Schutz application and Grand Prix White finish.
