Very Late S1.5 on eBay

[MarkE]

An interesting machine on eBay, chassis # 1E 21872. Does this make it one of the last S1.5 cars?

I can't see any S2 bits on the car at all, except maybe the radiator expansion tank on the RH side of the bulkhead? I guess that at some time it's had a new bonnet, and the owner opted for a S1 type...I think that I would as well.

Unusually, it was changed from Red to Blue.

Tempted, Clive? :D

The car is listed in Mike Powers' database as being built in May, 1968, placing it towards the end of Series 1.5 production. As such it will have the rocker switches and headrests inside, and the wheels appear to still have their "Nader Nuts" instead of proper knockoffs. The bonnet has obviously been replaced and they did what many of us would do: fit the S-1 item. Not a bad looking car really, and an original RHD.
