I believe a that either Classic & Sportscar or Thoroughbred & Classic had an
article about four years ago covering the history of the car and its
restoration by Clive Harrington. The car has been displayed at a number of
English shows since then.
SAOC's "Horn" #97 from about two+ years ago contains a letter from Clive
Harrington, covering some of the details of the LeMans car and Harrington
history.
