I was the first owner before and after restoration of this car, so I know every original detail of this car. The restoration was done by Brooklands Classic Cars in Holland and finished in 1998. I still have the original chassis plate.

Uhhhh, I would always retain the original chassis plate with the car. It is for me the most valuable identification of originality of such a car beside the title.

As new owner I would really seek to receive the plate from you, Frans....

But very very nice, early car!

Does anyone know the original colour combination of the car?
Thanks!

Stefan

Dear all,
I don't know where Lofty and Stefan bought this car as I bought it in march 2012 from Classicpark in the Netherlands. It is registered in Belgium at the moment.
Dear Frans, I would like to contact you to share some info about the car to get its history complete.
I do have the photo book regarding the restoration done by Brooklands.

Kind regards,
Jochen Moortgat

Just finding your entry, Jochen, I just want to say, I never owned this car. It was only a sophisticated statement / my opinion. I wanted simply to express, if I were the new owner, I would try to retain the original VIN plate from Frans.....

Sorry for any misunderstanding! But again, very very nice car indeed!

Thanks

Stefan

Dear Stefan,

Sorry about the misunderstanding.
I can gladly say that I met with Frans and that I know have reunited the original chassis plate with the car.

Greetings
