A full frame off restoration completed in 2017 performed by a father and son duo, with the paint and other works performed by professionals. Complete with the original 2,138 cc four cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox. During the restorations all of the mechanicals were replaced or rebuilt. An electronic ignition was installed, and circuit breaker was used.

The original windshield remained. A custom made interior with seats from a TR250 was completely restored with leather covers in Suede Green with BRG piping.
