Chris,
That's a very early body number. I have seen P510 000083 and 000286, but
the first was an evaluation vehicle brought here to check it out in Aus.
The next one is sitting forlornly in the back yard of a motor repairer. He
cut the firewall out to fit a V8 in it then went no further. It is now
rotting out in the floor pan, but all the outside panels are still
remarkably good.
