Car was originally registered ODX950 and was exported to Connecticut before being sold to longterm owner in Detroit MI. Returned to UK around 2000 longterm stored then restored.
Despite much searching can not uncover original owner, anyone who can shed light on that much appreciated.

After extensive research finally managed to obtain sufficient evidence to satisfy the DVLA allowing the issue of the cars original registration number ODX950.
Still haven’t traced the illusive first owner. I have some correspondence from the late 60’s stating the car was purchased in England by A G Fuller and imported to US in 1962.
