"I purchased this car in England in June, 2017.

It is currently undergoing a 100% restoration in Lincolnshire.
A new replica VDP Tourer body has been constructed to match the original as supplied from new.
The Corsica body was discarded.
It should be completed in time for the 2019 BDC Annual Concours.
Eventually it will be shipped to my home in Western Canada."
