IN MARCH 1976 THE CAR WAS SOLD AS A NON-RUNNER BY MRS BAILES (DAUGHTER OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER) TO W.S. VAN NIEKERK OF UTRECHT, NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA. MR. VAN NIEKERK WAS THE OWNER OF THE CENTRAL GARAGE IN UTRECHT AND HE REBUILT THE CAR OVER A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS. ITS NEW REGISTRATION NUMBER WAS NUT 26.
