A few things strike me about this car. The boot (trunk...sorrry!) opening looks too long, like an Ace, but if it had worm & sector steering, the column should be height adjustable? The stamping doesn`t look right for a 2*09, could it be 209* or *209 or possibly BEX209(an Ace type serial no.?) I`ll check my Ace registers later!
Also, the arches look so wrong at the front, if it still had wire wheels, and the vents...TOO HIGH!
It does look old though.
I wonder why "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale. " Caveat Vendor perhaps?
