we had a chat about it a couple of weeks ago - I reckon it's a lovely car, I haven't seen it in person, but I reckon it's genuine the discussion was around the 1's in the body number being stamped upside down - maybe it was the last body shell done on a friday arvo - surely if someone was trying to fake it, they'd get the stamps up the right way! |

And you can very quickly distinguish a 1275 head from a smallbore head by the orientation of the frontmost two thermostat studs/bolts. They are parallel on a "bigbore" head - with the head studs and kicked off to an angle on a "smallbore" head. |

the only thing I don't like is the engine colour, the alternator, the oil cooler hoses (blue? WTF??) and the water catch tank... actually, it doesn't have the right dash fascia either still a really nice car, if I was in the market I'd look at it quite seriously |

All things that can be fitted, sourced etc at a later dat. Otherwise it looks nice. |
