You might be in luck with getting it back as I will be taking apart a complete car that will have any bits that you are missing.

The only part I cant see that will prove hard to find is the inner seat tub - probably missing because most people throw them away and panel in alloy - what I will be doing amongst other mods.

I have 2 ;)

Wings are the correct ones as is the early type dash that would have had a flat piece of wood inserted into it - looks like the lower half of the molding is missing though.

looks like you have the alloy sides - the footwells should have alloy floors and sides.

Bedfors CF lights at the rear - on the fronts :unsure: probably round lights that early on - mine has what I think are Citreon 2CV units.

My swing axle car is based on a Ford Classic 1500 GT from 1963 but with drums all round and banded triumph steels on the back.

I also have a hood :o for it

The later car is quite different - having a different bonnet, wings, rear tub scuttle and a taller screen - cant comment on the roll bar as its been cut off.

I will post some pictures in due course.

Cheers

Andrew

There are quite a few interesting engineering items on that car.

Drive shafts
Prop shaft
Engine mounting
Diff mounts

There is a rather large file of info on its way to you - hope its not too much in one go.

As it would appear that the chassis numbers started BT010 - yours is pretty early in the batch.

I wish I could find a chassis number on mine because it looks even earlier :o



Cheers

I think the gear lever extension on mine has been slightly better engineered :lol:

Best now to take specific details and questions to the B-type area
