Have a look through the gallery of pictures - you can't see on the ad, but if you keep hitting the 'next picture' button on one of the enlarged photos, you come to what I assume are the pre-restoration photos. It's almost unrecognisable!

Looks like a different car - a blue one? Judging by the better hood on the blue one, I'd say its a different car.

I don't think so. I reckon it's been restored, re-upholstered, re-sprayed and fettled to within an inch of its life. Not that I wouldn't buy it, it looks lovely, but there are a lot of features on it that aren't original.

The blue one is an earlier model. The instruments are not smiths, and the fuel filler is chrome. The bulkhead is not the same and the nearside inner wing has no moulding for the expansion pipes. Different car. Why is there nothing on TV to watch this evening?????
