Apparently its coming back on ebay, after being inundated with offers and people wanting more details the seller has decided to apply for a heritage certificate then put it back on again.

I might be wrong but with some of the things in the photos that doesn't look like a 59' shell, though it is early one. I'm no expert so I'll wait for Bill to come along and put us right :lol:

The Door Kick Plates look wrong to me for a '59?

I was one of the people asking questions!

I think he's guessed the registration month as its a mid Oct > small floor depression shell. I asked if he had a V5 and for the chassis no. Nothing, then it was pulled and I had an email from him about getting a heritage certificate. It could be a genuine mistake and a Oct > car, photos are very poor. No drip rails so pre May 60.

We await a re listing I guess. A chassis number & Body number would help!
