"I could tell
you more about our 3 Litre car, DE
1209, which is also a preserved car
but, unfortunately, it was repainted
in the 1940s but it is otherwise preserved,
including upholstery and the polished
bonnet as ordered from VDP."

The 1930's by Joel e. Finn includes
many pictures of DE1209. After seeing
some of them it is a wonder it is
still so well preserved. However it
could not have a better caretaker
then Dr. Simeone — his wrench
skills are as good as his surgical
skills.
