See June 1980 edition of Thoroughbred & Classic Cars (UK) for the story of its rescue in Singapore, and restoration. Last heard of in 1998 as being in Indonesia.

I now own this car, which was repatriated to England (from Denmark) in February 2023. It has been re-registered, and travels under its ex-factory reg. number of NKV 208.

I bought the car (back) from Denmark in February 2023. It was sent from the factory in 1956 to become a Diplomat's car in Malaya (as was). It then went to Singapore, where it was eventually bought in a dilapidated condition and rebuilt by two Brits. It was bought by another ex-pat and returned to the UK, where it was registered in his wife's name as TEU 32S. This lady sold it to a Danish gentleman in 1986, and he spent years undertaking a very thorough 'ground-up' restoration. Due to poor health, he sold it (to myself) in 2023, when it was shipped back to the UK, and re-registered by me under its original number plate. The car is in excellent order throughout.
