Unfortunately, Domenic could not provide any information on the car's past other than that it had previously belonged to a De Tomaso importer/dealership called The Toy Shop, which was owned by Paul Halstead. Paul owns, and has very successfully campaigned, #9242. I wrote to Paul in 2016 to see if he could shed some light on #9250, but he did not reply.
If someone in Australia feels like helping to unravel this, here is a link to Paul Halstead’s web site:
