Owner Comments
This Bourne Co. body LHD car was acquired when I lived in L.A./Calif., and imported to Japan in 2001. It was painted Regency Red then. The Unit (#3310), Chassis (#0345), and the Engine (LP935) numbers all match, and are verified as original by Mr. Mike Pomfret. The original color, however, is supposedly Carnival Red. According to Mike, this was sold to US importer called Lindner and left U.K. around December, 1963.
