I think this car must be a rebody of my NIC#528.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I'm trying to work out which ERA formed the basis for this car?  All the A, B, and C-types, along with R4D are accounted for.  The two E-Types, GP1 and GP2 still exist.  The one G-Type along with any spares, was sold to Bristol and formed the basis of the 450 Le Mans prototypes.
I can't see which chassis this could be.

It was an E-type so one of the present cars must be a phoney, or made from this sports car being returned to its natural state.

'Tis the latter, I'm happy to say.

Hopefully, rather than being scrapped this body has been recycled onto other underpinnings.
