On this subject, I just heard yesterday from Graham Robson who says that indeed
the original cart is in Switzerland and was at a TSSC show a couple of
years ago still with the 6 cyl and the hood scoop for clearance. He gave me
the name of a guy in the TSSC who may have recorded the Commission number
for comparison with what I received from the gentleman selling it.
So fat it looks as if it is the "Real McCoy".
I'll report further findings.
