Yes, thats some of it
but there are more items "missing/wrong"
Any thoughts regarding the rear wheel ? is it far enough out ? = S brakes ?

No chrome gear leaver
Wrong ashtray
Wrong dash cards
Suppose being a 65 car it would have just missed twin tanks, as this car appears to be single tank.

Yes, dash cards are also wrong.
Which picture can you see the gear lever ?
Noticed it also is missing the alloy strip, that cover the rubber door seal, at the bottom of the door frame.

I was looking on my ipad last night and just looked again this morning on computer this time, and realised it was just a shadow.
Lol could have sworn it was the lever, must have a look again on ipad when i get home tonight
sorry about that.
Re the rear drum setup, zooming in on the rear wheel it looks like the wheel is spaced out from the hub nut dust cover
starts to get a bit fuzzy as the resolution is not that high though, so wouldnt bet my last fiver.

Well the Swedish guy, is very exited, cant blame him, if it IS the real McCoy ??
But I have my doubts, genuine S,s are rare, both here & in Sweden.

Well after I asked about pictures of the boot & engine bay, he pulled all the pictures from the thread
For those who found this link through "köja forum" I made a poll on the MCR forum, and 85% dont think its a S.
Shame when people just get "iffy" about a request, if its a real S, why not post pictures & defend / show the car genuine ?
