Manufactured in Abingdon 10/ 04/ 56-12/ 04/ 56 a commission build for a clergyman living in Rhodesia used sparingly for parish duties returned to the UK in 1995 an age related Reg Number was applied for and the D. V. L. A. issued the number RSJ 234.

The car was sold in 2005 showing an odometer reading of 17, 339 miles to classic car enthusiast Les Jones he decided to embark on a comprehensive refurbishment including a complete engine overhaul and unleaded fuel conversion plus installing the 5 speed Hi-Gear upgrade and 1 1/ 2 inch twin SU Carbs fitted and a stainless steel exhaust followed by a full engine tune.

There was then a top quality re-spray done followed by the fitting of new beautiful green leather upholstery and new head lining. The car was inherited by the son of Les Chris Jones, he used it sparingly for a couple of years then sold it to Mr Derek Hatton another Welshman from Abergavenny it was again used sparingly for classic car shows in Wales
