Same bloke that was selling the 'mk3 S' on ebay several times, that's been mentioned on here

Hydro Island Blue 850 with a new S chassis plate screwed on it. Late ‘65?

Interesting combination of swivel sunvisor cant rails and earlier fixed sunvisors

Slightly difficult to see from the engine bay photo but it looks like the regulator is in the wrong place for an S.

It is a later shell as it has the reinforcements in the corners of the windscreen pillars either side of the sunvisors: the shape is different on earlier cars.

He’ll be a happy man to offload em that’s for sure, you’ve not seen the “997” yet! . Must be saving the best til last. The thing is sellers like this know full well they’re ringers, it’s not just a reshell thing, but are perfectly happy to try and find a gullible munchkin to hand over maximum wad.
