Sorry for taking so long to get back to the list. Very Busy.
I have found a few oddities with my car. Perhaps other have noticed these
things too?
The chassis number is B 911 6833 while the engine is 911 6775. that is 58
off. I believe that this is too close to be anything but factory authorized.
Also, on stripping paint I found two indentations on the top of each front
fender. they were lead filled, but easily removes to show where bullet type
mirrors would attach.
And, on removing the windshield, on the right hand side, are holes that have
been lead filled in a half circle. I deduct that is where the cubby hole
windscreen would attach for racing. Maybe ?
Finally, my shift knob is steel, with the Rootes emblem on it. Makes a great
paperweight.
Among some other things, these still puzzle me. Does anyone know if Rootes
raced these babies, and if so what years, or even number ?
I hope....
thanks
