I thought the early wings were three parts but if it is a modified 175 then maybe that pre-dates the three part. Interesting it has bits from a later early car. I had thought the early cars all had brown interior. I wonder if they swapped the interiors over? Evidence will gather on such things during fiddling no doubt. Having a bang is all in the history of the car. Like Bazzer which has its dent from the dustbin lorry.
Ys iut hjas Rich!
Al, its definitally original interior! It has a very unusual small pocket on the drivers seat, and has some sort of parcelshelf lining. Both original, a guy on schmitt talk said he has the same.
I think they are 2 part wings, not 3 part. Maybe they have the 3rd part on the seam where it bolts on the car, but I dont think so. It has an obvious line on the wing that shows a split. We first thought it was a repair, but we dont think so anymore, Anders showed us some of his early wings, and they where the same.
Suprising there arent many more earlier cars than ours found. It is chassis 213, so still quite a few left to find!
Anders said pur one was the most original of the 3 earliest cars.
Vic Hyde's one is chassis 33, but has been modded by Vic, and restored. Anders's one has been fully restored, as it was like new.
Our one is virtually all original. Door, *wong* (remember that rich?) and paint may have been changed, but there still the nearest things to original we can get!
Pain must have been done before 1960, so the part swap aswell!
