[mmjosh]

Depends what year you mean by "early". Changeover came around 63/64

[hotrodder13]

well its got holes for trafficators and the flat dash, not like the one in my 66, log book says this one is 1970 buts its not

[PSL184]

Traficators finished in 61

[hotrodder13]

oh, i thought it might be 62 the cars coming with all the tags so il have a look

Clap hand wiper holes are symetrical either side of the bonnet centre line, parallel wiper holes are offset towards the drivers side

Is it a one piece windscreen or 2 piece?
also you say a 'flat dash' - by that do you mean that the speedo is not in the centre of the dash? If so, then pre 1956

Unless you are very careful with this car - it's very obviously NOT what they say it is........ You could very well end up with a Q reg - and paying annual road tax on it. That is - IF it passes a VOSA inspection. You should get the car on the road - MOTd and taxed before making any major modifications to it. Only then - add modifications slowly!

[hotrodder13]

it looks to have been re registared,all the paperwork matches up with the plates, and its a one piece windscreen and ye the speedo is in the middle and its got a pull start

[mike.perry]

Does it still have a chassis plate or number stamped on the body?

[hotrodder13]

ma2s3 917234, theres the plate and its also stamped into the body

[mike.perry]

948 Series 3, early 1960, 1970 was probably a misprint

[bmcecosse]

It has an H registration - it was registered (probably from abroad) in 1970.........
