It’s not, it’s Mk1 Newton stuff painted black.
You’re right, I ought to have spotted that. Mine was painted black when I bought it!

Did they do that to the race cars? Should I have put another nought on my price?!!!

Possibly used a few pots of this , they don’t look that big! Looks a nice car to be fair but spotted the hole on the front of the O/S sill which would usually mean further rot. Been flipped before through a dealer so must have been cheap to start with

The early GT's are fabulous.

You've seen one Mark 1 S and you've pretty much seen all of them. Bitsas with invented history and a thick layer of bullshit - it's bordering on tedious.

But these GT's......you can almost taste the history. They're the real thing.
