I bought a very similar car last year, - same color & year. Does your car have an alloy bonnet? Mine came with one and your is earlier than mine.Best,KC

Comment by Chris Schober

Mine has a steel bonnet, it may be possible that the cars shipped to North America changed to steel before the ones in the UK. Mine was made in December 1969 then shipped to Canada, it was not registered to drive on the road until 1971 so it must have sat on a dealers lot for a while.

Comment by Kent C

The color of our cars was a 1 year only color - Blue Royale. Is your car Canadian spec? KPH etc.?

Comment by Chris Schober

In 1970 Canada was still Imperial (went to metric in 1976), so I have mph. I like the Blue Royale colour, does your car have factory wire wheels? Per the factory stats for my car mine were added by a precious owner.
