Thanks for providing the rest of the story. I was only trying to show very recent shady "history" John. This coupe happend to sell on EBay as a D with the D tag showing (which yes, had replaced the original C tag when converted to a D to install the 0200 from a C), and then was resold on ebay a few months later with the shiny new C dataplate. The temptation is great with the C data plates readily available and the sales price greatly increased. I highly doubt if the shiny new plate was an original, especially with the 100 hp stamped on it. The two tag situation is interesting John, I have never seen one properly converted! Often the C tag has a D stamp added after it, and then called a CD. Some just leave the original C tag.
