Repainted Red & passenger window installed under second owner (Jack Davey's) ownership where it was used for promotional activites for Ampol & his radio show in the late 50's.

Involved in an accident where the car's caretaker - Bill Murray (1947 AGP winner) lost control with the car on the Pacific Highway 650km from Sydney, whilst in transit from the Gold Coast - subsequently the car was written off for insurance purposes.

Restored in 1957 by Whale Beach Service Station Avalon under third owner - Australian motorsport icon Frank Gardiner's ownership, car was painted white to match Gardiner's C-Type.

Restored in the 60's by fifth owner - Ash Marshall, in the process the car was repainted Red with a red leather interior, and had XKSS side exit exhausts and heat shields installed, along with plenty of chromed aluminium exteror pieces (bodywork by Stan Brown & repainted by Clive Adams)

Later restored to original (and current) specification - British Racing Green over Green Leather & steel rims.
