Note that the Australian roadster differs from the US version in that there is more space behind the seat as seen in the pictures. Note distance from top of rumble seat to the top mounting. I am told by my contact in Australia this was due to the US using the rear stampings based on the 3 window coupe and foreign units were based on the 5 window coupe. Cars were shipped as chassis and motors assembled in US and bodies applied in country sold.
This is a fine running beautiful rare car. It is sold as is as shown with no warrantee expressed or implied. It is available for test drive and can be seen by appointment and viewed on my lift. ASK questions. The reserve is very reasonable and I reserve the right to end the auction early because of local sale.RESERVE PRICE LOWERED DON'T MISS OUT
