It was discovered in Canada, (after the then owner moved form Ireland and bought it with him.)
My father and I helped hugely in gathering information and also worked out what car it was form the ledgers, various articles and found the original registration documents in Ireland. As said above when it left the factory it was sent to the dealer in Ireland in cream (and red IIRC) hence why the steering wheel is red. The documents backed this up.
Underwent major restoration in Canada, (and was overdone with lots of body work being replaced with new metal) and then returned to Ireland where the old panels were then re-instated. I have a lot of photos of details and how the restoration progressed.
