A partial refurbishment was begun by or on behalf of Hans Oosterbaan but was left unfinished at the time of the 2000 sale.

The correct matching-numbers 1200cc engine was located, rebuilt, and reunited with the chassis as part of the broader restoration programme.

Carried out during the twelve-year restoration period spanning roughly 2000–2012.

A full restoration encompassing chassis refurbishment and cosmetic refinishing in the original light blue over blue Brussels show livery was completed over approximately twelve years.

Commissioned by Martin Dijkhof following the 2000 acquisition; restoration was complete by the time the car was exhibited in Brussels in 2015.
