If I'm not mistaken it looks like it has BN4 reak kick panels and
sliding top frame as well... which means it isn't a BT7 body, but a
BN4 body ... with a late Mk1 or early MkII engine and gearbox in it.
No factory mistakes here... clearly someone cracked up their BN7 and
then put the engine and id plates in a BN4 frame... done by some
sheister no doubt.
