Quite like that, looks honest, even the black paint job over original “Poo colour” (as my wife always refers to it) doesent seem to detract..

With its overseas history, I wonder if it’s the car from that Dunlop promo film 🤔

That was shot in '68 or '69 I think Nick, the car was on an 'F' plate...

Probably more likely to be the Alfa shade 'Giallo Ochre', as used on the 105 Series Giulia Coupes.

Hum, £1000 for an old Franco box c/w brand new self adhesive sticker. Not really the incredibly rare original it looks like, is it?

Now that is nice. £25k, and another 10 put into sorting the body - it wants to be Bronze yellow again. To my way of thinking, the Mark II S really is the one to have.

Standard 1275 crank NOS available on eBay in the states. I’ve bought from this seller before and had good interactions.

Doesn't look like it needed a new shell does it?

A Heritage shell is £13.5K these days, no doubt with a decent lead time.

What's the odds the FY mk1 project will be back on sale soon, minus the shell....?
