It is a Moss box an HR in fact it turns out, the car is going to be a treasure as it was first registered on 13/01/70 so a real narrow body similar to Brian's and it was originally orange and black and went straight to the Bahamas from the factory. Bob has been to the factory to help establish some of the history a few months back.
We communicate on Whatsapp and one question he has is what is the gauge of the metal on the car ? obviously this vintage on an untampered with car such as this it's all steel.
I'll pass that on but Bob is definitely a question asker he wants to get it right but is stalled with the lockdown right now.
The clutch was seized as were all the brakes, reading between the lines they had a hell of a game getting the car ready for shipping. The engine is coming out for a total rebuild not having run for 38 years.
Bob is aware of the usefulness of Gomog so has some good references.
