Wow, you've got some work ahead of you there... did you buy it? looking forward to seeing it progress

Looks to have a few good bits on it Shane, but the owner would need to be forthcoming with a reasonable cheque to cover your efforts to remove it.
Shouldn't the chassis number and the "ID" plate numbers match?
Cheers, Mick.
The chassis number suffix gives it a date of 1967.
The carburettor is an SU. The fitting of this and the exhaust extractors is a 'one off', but would significantly improve performance, possibly athe expense of driveability, and with the risk of icing in the right conditions. Carburettor parts would be readily available, but other parts such as hoses, gaskets, exhaust system etc would need to be made.
No problems with returning it all to standard, if that is what you wanted to do.

Thanks for the replies.
I looked up plate and chassis numbers on CaLvin.
They do not match. 1967 chassis, 1962 plate.
So an early S11A then, with headlights on the grill.
The price went UP as I showed more interest.
$300 and seller will deliver. Still keen on $200 delivered.
It has turned out that I have his old S111 (Gilbert)
keep you posted.
still a cheap full hoop set.

I have a chassis on Darwin that tells me its 59 - 60 but the bodywork according to the plate on the bulkhead is 67 - 68. Unable to make sense of how this would have come about.
cheers,

Bulkheads, due to rust, are often the first bit to be replaced - and the plate is likely to have come with it. Or equally, a rusty chassis has been replaced with an earlier one. Either is possible. A third alternative is that the plate has been moved from one vehicle to another, possibly by accident, perhaps when it was repainted and the wrong one fitted.Quote:
