"Interested to find this, as this is my father's car. I am the one pictured driving it in the most recent shot, and the photos at the bottom are my grandfather. It is a wonderful car! It underwent a complete bare chassis restoration from 1991-1993, and is still driven regularly with gusto by my father, Bill Johnson. Wonderful to find these old pictures of it!"

"My grandfather bought TD 4512 in 1963 from England. The previous English owner — Guy Shoesmith I believe — came over to visit the car in the 90s at my father's home. I can track down his notes on it. Talking with my father, he mentioned Shoesmith was the one who undertook the 4.5 conversion. He employed Johnny Green in England. Mike Hawthorn also drove TD 4512 while it was owned by Shoesmith, I believe."
