Re: 57 RHD oval ragtop
Thanks. Yes, this car is amazingly complete and original. I'll take more detailed pics when I get the chance. It has a few cool accessories in addition to the intake grille trim: a VDO clock and period oil temperature gauge, as well as several tiny lights to illuminate areas on the dash. It also has the optional passenger grab handle (may have been standard on local cars), as well as a locally made Supersonic radio.
