Another bloody 'S' barstardised. Some colour green they probably think is BRG. Can't even get the front panel correct.

Looks like they had the front panel correct then changed it back.

That body is not the one that matches that ID plate.

Simple. That ID plate doesn't belong to that body.

For the last time, THAT ID PLATE DOES NOT MATCH THAT BODY.

Have you seen the chassis number stamping on the radiator cowling?

He used to own the car. Maybe he remembers what the body looked like.

The photos make it hard to work out if it is a deluxe or an S. If its the original body then has the wrong front panel for car 1686. The early front panels where changed over around 300 cars prior.

FFS. I sold the ID plate 20 years ago. I know where the matching shell is. Good enough?

That explains why it has fresh cold gal paint over the stampings. Must be welded and restamped. Thanks for the info TK. I will add it to my replica database.
