Hi Stu,

Seriously, I wouldn't worry mate. So many of the early cars have had most things changed at least once. There is also of course the possibility that the certificate / records are wrong (although this is unlikely).

You have still bought yourself a cracking little car.

On the bright side, now you can fit a turbocharger and not be worried about originality. :D

that is true. dont know if i can be bothered with 2 turbo conversions though. ha ha it does mean i can fettle a little bit now. just need to swap the exhaust and fit the 12g295 head im getting tweaked. should be a little flier.
