Informations from Warren Kennedy 2019:

Through my research on The Nash Healey N2023, originally registered KWD 947, this was the only Right Hand Drive, Panel craft Nash Healey built. This was the car that Donald drove on the 1951 Mille Miglia. The car suffered a DNF on the alpine rally, damaged Radiator.
R.S.B. Walkden  March 1952 returned to works and shown written off.
Mr Swiffen in June 1953 the car was fitted with a Nash Healey engine.
Correct Walkden did wright the car off in a major accident, Donald bought the salvage and used the registration book to put on N2023 The Nash Healey. He kept the Log book from N2023 (KWD 947) and used it as a number plate for all his demonstrators, race cars and proto types. He eventually sold the Log book with a pile of spares for £50.00 (receipt for this is published in Bill Emerson’s book) Page 69.
Mr Swiffen entered the car in the 1953 RAC rally
