There were a total of about 150 cars made in all 1922-3.
There is one being (slowly) restored in Australia where he has the remains of 3 chassis - all the cars were imported as a chassis and had home-built bodies.
There was an advert in about 1960 for one for sale ( from memory in Cheshire ) but the story is it went to The Netherlands but I wrote to the 6 largest car museums and they could find no trace.
