Few have survived, but I did see an article in a classics mag about 20 years ago about one being restored. I think the owner was called Steven Fisk and he was a cobbler who intended to use it to promote his business. He used a pottery pie dish to trace around to get the oval shape of the back windows. I wonder if this is the same one?

Yep! I have that mag as well. I knew Steve but he seems to have disapeared. The Nobel featured in that aticle is the one I bought from him and owned for quite a while.
