Scope was described as minor; the car subsequently competed at several historic events.

Comprehensive two-year concours-standard restoration covering complete disassembly and rebuild. Carrozzeria Zagato's craftsmen fabricated replacement body panels from original tooling wherever new metal was unavoidable, while retaining original material as far as possible. Richard S. Williams rebuilt all mechanical systems including the engine, suspension, and brakes, restored the interior, and completed final assembly after the finished bodywork was returned from Italy.

Work was split between Williams's facility in England and Zagato's workshops in Italy; the car was completed and shown publicly in June 2002.
