Very interesting. Tell me, dsl. Black was an exclusive 1275 GT colour at that time ? -- Last edit: 2022-09-11 10:20:38

I looked hard at the details on this one - has the GT grille badge (deleted May 76) but no sill tapes, and wondered if - with the upgraded wheels, gold coachline and possible tints - whether Hooper/Radford or similar had waved their magic wands over it. My hunch is that they may well have done, but too blurry to say for definite.
