So are they just clubman doors on a 65 deluxe shell??

And is the ID plate the correct one for the shell?

Last questions

Thanks again

I think so. Everything looks early except the doors and pillars.
The ID plate seems to be right.
The car number on the plate will be stamped on the body just below the plate, you might be able to feel where it is it from inside the car.
The body number on the radiator shroud panel will be about 500 different from the car number. This is normal.

Now just to workout how much it is worth.

Cheers

Just another thing, does the colour on the ID plate match the colour on the floor?

Toga White is the colour on the plate so yeah it seems to.

The white seems to be the deepest colour.

How did they change the B pillars. My dad has had a look and cant see any sign of them being changed.
Also there no pipes or plates from an old hydro setup underneath.

The fairly early hydro cars just had the hydro pipes clipped underneath. It was later on that they got the full length covers.

They might not have changed the whole pillar, they might have just altered them near the locks.
Notice the inside of the drivers door isn't white, it is blue.
