One of 348 first-series examples built, it was delivered new to Brussels in July 1963 and is believed to have spent time in the United States before returning to Europe, most recently residing in the Netherlands.

Maintenance & restoration
- —Restoration
A professional overall restoration was carried out, encompassing a full respray in the original Oro Longchamps colour and a comprehensive interior refurbishment. The engine also appears to have been extensively overhauled at around the same time, though no invoices or workshop records are available.
Following this work the car was reportedly stored unused for approximately nine years. Several items remain incomplete: chrome trim strips are detached, wire wheels require refurbishment, and windscreen wipers have not been installed.
