Chassis number 660792 was completed on May 3rd of 1951, and left for Brysons, Melbourne, Australia, on June 12th of 1951. The vehicle was first registered in Victoria in 1951 and then it changed hands several times in the late 1950s and 60s eventually ending up in the collection of Mark Tucakovic of Wallington, Australia, in 1973. In 1992, auto designer Karl Robertson bought the car and took it with him to Frankfurt, Germany. He completed a full restoration of the all numbers matching car, including fitting it with the twin Brooklands screens and a Quick Type Fuel Fill to match the original 1950 LeMans team cars. The vehicle is also equipped with rare Don Busch Turbo Vent wheels of which only 10 sets were produced for Australian race vehicles.

Mr. Robertson moved to the U.S. where he showed it extensively at various Concours and charity events until its sale to the current owners in 2008. The vehicle was raced extensively and the current owner performed a full refresh in 2010.
