Finished in period-correct green and black with cream accents and fitted with dual side-mounted spares, driving lights, and a Motometer mascot, the car has received mechanical sorting after an earlier restoration and is presented in excellent driving condition.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
