Robert, love the Jamaican History on this one, but the chassis number and production date are too late to be a Flat Floor Car, last chassis number was 175. Your description is misleading, saying Jaguar Heritage confirmed, they are confirming matching numbers not it’s an early Flat Floor Car. Please check..

Thank you ever so much for pointing this out to us, it’s exactly what makes our community so great!

We’re going to amend the listing immediately.

From the images, the car appears to retain the earlier flat floor pans, which is why we stated this in the description. The later, sunken floor pans are particularly noticeable on a red car, as they really do stick out like a saw thumb. However the point you made is understood.

There's something about these full restorations that sometimes looks "off", almost kit-car/replica-like due to sitting a yard too high and almost too shiny. I guess the paint will weather-in and the springs settle with some real world road mileage.
