Re: surviving Mk1s
The owner was adamant that it had come that way from the factory. Whether it did or not, that's my favourite body shape combination.

Re: surviving Mk1s
thanks all. It turns out that my cross reference data sheet was not. I have counted that car as on the road so the list this year is now 100 cars updated.
I was informed last night that the Bonham auction car [115/3335] that they have listed as VEA999G was in fact VEA666G; which was the registration number shown in their photos; so it is not always me.

Re: surviving Mk1s
Never give up on a lead.
today Stoo advise me of the oldest likely survivor on the list. 115/2525 is believed to be in Victoria Australia and he believes the new owner has had it for about 3 years. This car had not been heard of since 1988. I have listed it as a 'restoration' until firm confirmation.
Also good news 117/3148 is back on the road after a rear shunt at the beginning of the year - well done Christian. photos added to Christian's Album

Re: surviving Mk1s
Interesting start to the morning.
Thanks to Neil one car found as scrap in a VLOG ( I am finally getting down/ hang of the language of the yooff ) There is a link on the website and the car is 'found' at about 14 mins into the 30 minute Youtube. Also a previous owner of a car added photos to one of the FaceBook pages which I have added to the album for that car and sent to the current owner. And the £100K car for sale is identified as 115/2698 - again thanks to those who were more alert than me.

Re: surviving Mk1s
I’ve met Joel a few times at shows.
His car was Car of the Month March 2014.
Has owned 30 MAR since he was 18
Lifetime car dealer & multiple classic owner.
He took the photos as he used to see it locally in the early 1980’s.
You’ll find him on FBook

Re: surviving Mk1s
In reviewing the surviving cars I noted that on Chassis No 117/2595 I noted that there is a photograph of an identification plate showing 542/17B
I believe that this relates to Chassis No 117/2590??
Kind regards
