I would be interested to know which museum in Florida has the car, if anyone knows. Angela Cooper The Collier Automotive Museum in Naples, Florida might have the car. Collier's collection of sports and racing cars is huge. Here are their contact details: Collier Automotive Museum 2500 S. Horseshoe ...

I contacted the DVLA historical archives to inquire about 405 FXO. They responded and said that FXO was a London County Council issue, but unfortunately the records were destroyed in the 1970's. They also said that the FXO series was issued between April 1963 and January 1964. Pip Arnold took delive...

Bruce and Mark - Thank you for refreshing my memory about the car that went to South Africa and for the great historical insight. I haven't thought about this stuff for a while so I need to dust off the mental cobwebs. Pip Arnold owned two cars that were registered XRX 1. It's so cool to learn that ...

I seem to remember that the Stapletons sold 405 FXO and it went to South Africa but returned to England some years later. Bruce, did you keep record of the chassis number on 405 FXO? I believe that car wore several registration numbers, so your record of the chassis number will make the picture clea...

Three different cars. To clarify, JHX 142B is Super Sports #4840. Its original registration was XRX 1 (May 1961). Late 1961 there was a registration swap and it became TOK 258. During the summer of 1964 the car was sold and the registration was changed yet again, this time to JHX 142 B which it has ...

At one point, Gerry HAD both TOK 258 and XRX 1 for sale and advertised, as well as having JHX 142 B on his stock lists.

An interesting and rather ironic point to add, JHX 142 B was originally registered as XRX 1 and then TOK 258.
