Chassis number 2361 is said to have originally been bodied as a four-seater by Charles Kirkham in Sydney, although only the aluminum scuttle was left of the bodywork by the 2000s. Construction of two-seat duck’s-back touring coachwork was commenced in the early 2000s by a Welsh coachbuilder before panel work was completed by John Selway in Gainsborough, UK. Also fabricated by Selway were the vented windshield, top frame, black double-duck soft top, and matching tonneau.
