You'll have to put a stick on centre windscreen pillar. That'll stump the experts Very Happy .
It looks like it has the comfortable early model seats too.

Any history on the car ?

Looks like whoever built it liked the earlier boot ornament as well as the grille Yellow Convertible
I'd personally ditch or realign those badges though.
Just wondering, were you the guy a while back who had a spare ute back section? I may be looking for one in the next few months.

Notice they still used the later bumper - see that the overriders are infront of the park lights. What was the story with overriders on the cheese grater minors - did they have no overriders or were they positioned differently?

The one's that had them fitted had them further inwards to clear the side lights.

It was probably damaged in the front years ago & repaired using whatever was available.

They possibly used the original bumper from this car when they fitted the early front

Well, it's a mixed bumper by the looks.

It has the splash tray of a cheesgrater front & the chrome blade of a 1000 type front.

The bonnet also looks the same as the 1000 Traveller version.

Very Happy Very Happy
