Not sure what you are implying with the last part of your statement there. Maybe some more details will help?

#014 was purchased by someone in New York directly through David Clark at Taylor & Crawley. He kept the car about two years before selling it to SVAG. I can put better dates to the story later.

Prior its time at Taylor & Crawley I am not sure if anyone else owned #014, but as we all know it had come from Brunei originally. It may have shifted quickly from Brunei to T&C, but I am not 100% on that.

I don't believe Cars International had any involvement with the car at any point.


EDIT: Just an update, Taylor & Crawley had #014 for sale on their website in mid 2002. Paperwork for Show or Display exemption was processed in September of that year for the owner mentioned above. The car was first spotted in the USA in May 2003 but probably arrived here sooner than that. Without doing too much digging I believe the car went to SVAG around November 2005, and then was auctioned by RM the following August.

Some additional details from the car's second owner were posted here:
