1953 after the Mille Miglia
Later in 1953 and just after the Mille Miglia the same car was prepared for Le Mans, but when driven back from the scrutineering session by Gordon Wilkins, he was involved in an accident. Because of the major damage, it was necessary to do a total rebuild to get the car ready for the practice session. On event day, bearing the race number 34 it completed 2,153 miles in the 24 hours, finishing in twelve overall and second in class.
This particular car is the only one that to this day is original in all respects.
