only the early models, 62, 63, &some 64s, had alloy panels, also the A frame diff was available early on , but it kept on cracking and loseing the oil, changed to the normal gt diff houseing from then on.i had one for a couple of years in the 80s, great car, i believe it is now with a collector in invercargill.

Not much consolation I know, but quite a few people I know, myself included, have taken the details of the vehicle from the local paper and will be keeping an eye out for it any time we are on the road.

You wouldn't like the Goodwood Revival then, some seriously valuable cars being chucked around there.
