This looks nice and shiny.
I do notice that it has a body number plate on the front panel.

It does have a body number fitted but it is a much later front panel isn't it, so I wouldn't take TOO much notice of that ;)

For a 35k starting bid you'd think they'd at least provide some history on the car, obviously couldn't be bothered, assuming it's easy money.

The starting bid was £15,000 when I posted! Looks like it's been changed now.

Looks like a 1967 RHD Radford Cooper S with 1966 LHD I.D. Maybe to avoid import duties back in the day! It’s also lost it’s electric windows and 1/4 lights at the doors have sliding window and the windows switches are on the dash.
