Chassis No.1164 Serge SchongutRLL 275 was initially registered 29th June 1955. Some past owners include Roger Collins (1965), Graham Weare, Peter Holloway (1965-71), Peter Munn (1971-72) and Norman Weiss (1972-75). In the mid-70's the car was acquired for the Banham Motor Museum but later sold at auction in 1982.
From 1983 to 1984 the yellow car with black trim was owned by Fredd Scheys of Belgium.
In March 1984 Serge Schongut bought the car and commissioned a partial restoration. According to Serge "the chassis and aluminium work were found to be spotless. Most of the work done was related to electricals, brakes, trimming and a detailed paint job. Fully stripping the paint showed the original colour to have been red. I then had it repainted in this original colour on two coats of zinc chromate base paint."
