The car has been under restoration with Charles Palmer of Classic Restorations (Scotland) for the last three years. The engine has been completely rebuilt and now running for the first time in over 60 years. The body which I purchased in 2007 is an original Freestone & Webb Tourer, and it needs total refurbishment which is being carried out at the moment. It came from a Bentley in Strasbourg — I believe 1928 Chassis No. DN1734.
I have a full record of its progress to date "

Correction:
"I stated before (on this page below) that the original owner David Yule had raced the car at Phoenix Park, however I have now discovered that he in fact drove another 3 litre stripped for the race not his own one. 537 had a 2 seater and dickey type wide body originally painted yellow and there was a small oil painting of it. However I have Yule's family photograph album which shows him at speed in another 3 litre. Great to see it so well restored now. Yule was a well known racer in his Morris Special and Austin Ulster and we assumed he drove his own 3L." - Eddie Bourke, Feb 08, 2016
