thanks yeah Ive trawled through that, it does take detective work like you say. I couldnt really determine anything meaningfull to differentiate on my car from 60/61 to 67. Just was wondering if there was anything obviousl or easy to see to help date that I might have missed. I agree, suspect the do...

thanks all good tips. I did check under the rear seat but couldnt see a plate and it looks like there has been some welding repairs both sides in the past. I will strip off the paint on the slam panel just in case there is a number under there. What I have found so far is: it has a 3.4 engine with t...

It would seem likely a colour that was available every year. the reason I cant ascertain the year is because I cant actually find any identifying marks on the ca...

Just lost interest and moved on to other things but one day i'll c...

any rebuild photos or thread? sorry if already done but i'm new on here and probably facing 10 years like yourself!

thanks I'll have a good look - have the rear seat up but didn't notice anything there before but will look again. Can I ask another question - were the cars in the factory painted with a kind of red oxide primer before the colour coat? Pretty sure my car was black or a very dark blue originally, but...

Hi all, earlier this year I purchased by chance find a pretty sorry but reasonably solid (I hope!) mk2. Ive not had much chance to do anything with it yet but am going to make a start shortly. Can anyone tell me if there is any other place on the body of the car that I can find some identification o...
