In 1972 the Vegantune engine was refitted and it was raced at circuits in the UK and used in Hillclimbs. The car was imported into Australia and was fully restored and issued with a CAMS historic group O log book and CofD. In 2013 the Alexis raced at the Tasman event in Perth and Sydney before competing in New Zealand and then the UK and Ireland.
