On 28 September 2008 we went, together with Cees van Ouwerkerk and my neighbor to the current owner Peter Metz. Because the car was disassembled we had to drive to Rotterdam (the current location) with two cars and two trailers to accommodate all parts during the trip.

After a two hours drive we arrived in Helmond, the new location for this beauty.

In the following picture a part of the pile of boxes and crates, where all disassembled parts are temporary stored in, are shown. The very very nice XK 140 FHC from 1957 is shown in the back ground. I only spotted a small amount off places where rust did his work in the past 51 years. This car shows how a car keeps preserved if it is stored in the USA Arizona area, unbelievable. If the same car was store somewhere in Europe it would be rotten away completely.
