The MPCORB.dat file does not include this asteroid in any full version AFAIKS.

I only want to find the occasional Asteroid so find downloading the daily.dat file
more than I need.
I just go to
http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/Ephemerides/Unusual/index.html

Find the asteroid you want, and open the (Edit Comet/asteroid Data) in the *Extras*
menu and cut and paste the orbital elements into a(new asteroid) window.
