The gold-plated Series I at SUNI I was owned by Troy Cooper, who lives near
Vancouver, BC.. He sold the car to a Californian about three years ago, and
has since done an even better restoration of a Series II (not gold-plated).
When I spoke to him a few months ago, he said he hadn't heard from the buyer
of the gold-plated special since he sold it.
