The bonnet (hood) appears to be from a 100S as it has the lightened frame

> An ammeter has been fitted
> The alignment of the cockpit trims at the front of the left door leaves

> Incorrect radiator and heater hose clamps
> Incorrect radiator cap (should have a hollow head rivet)
> Incorrect fresh air duct
> Incorrect rocker cover nuts and washers
> Incorrect plug wire boots at the plugs
> Incorrect coil
>
Incorrect engine fan although I have some pics taken during its restoration

> Chrome rather than painted wire wheels
> Later style 48 spoke wheels

Windshield hold down springs appear to be missing.
Incorrect routing of radiator overflow tube
The heater pipe above the manifolds should be painted aluminium colour.
I don't want to appear to be overly picky but at the asking price of #
97,500.($US156,000) I would expect the car to be correct!!
