Riley Special Identification help needed GK 2140

[riley9charles]

Hi,
I have recently been looking into this coachbuilt Riley Special, registration number GK 2140 and was wondering if anyone knows any history about the car prior to mid 1960s? The only information I have is that it may have belonged to a hardware store in Hersham. I have attached links to pictures of it, two of which came from a Motorsport Magazine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Have you spoken to Tim Ely himself? Both he and his son are active in the Riley world.
