With a reg number of MVO 999E manufactured 67, with a 10 years later date of registration as Dec 79 ?.
As we know this can happen with an imported vehicle —but why then does the chassis plate number appear to be wrong in the timeline to either ?? [ 50 19** ] and stamped not etch pen ??.
Hope there is an explanation as it seems to me this is an odd one !.
Yes, there are a lot of odd things about the car. For example, it has fog lights and a bonnet bulge both of which came much later. The carbs are also not original (Dellortos). However, it looks to have the early exhaust, and boot handle. The door handles are early as well, containing the lock. Probably had front end damage at some time, requiring new nose/bonnet. The ID plate is missing its corners which might have occurred at this point (removed from old nose).
The ebay ad for this car comes across as just horrible, so negative, and possibly a scam. All that £500 within 24 hours nonsense, as is where is crap, contact me via my classifieds etc etc. What do you expect when the seller is Swiss Toni who lives in Harlow!
That’s interesting to note that once it had Carrillo rear lights.
Can anyone actually read the full chassis plate number in the first picture as I am unable to. My guess is the first three digits were “50 / “ and not the “50 1” that has been stamped.
