Hello again,
Thanks to all who wrote re this query. Rex is missing his commission
plate and his registration document document has not yet arived. All I
have, therefore, is his engine number-18V 5825 114451.
So, I'll have to wait to find out whether Rex is post Aug '72. I hope
this is the case because I, too, like the honeycomb grille-and I already
have the surround.
Thanks again,
Dave Hill, UK.
