Hi - looking for some advice.
I have a barn find series 1 I am trying to ID that has some conflicting evidence.
1. Chassis number is 1117 indicating a 1957 88 petrol.
2. Dvla say registered in 1957 but built in 1951
3. Has lights through the grill and correct front for 1951.
4. Rear tub looks like an 80.
It has been with the same owner for 25 years and is in bits as the owner dismantled to start a rebuild 10 years and then has a stroke. So, I am very confident that all the bits come from the same vehicle, not just a collection of ebay buys.
Any advice appreciated
