Yes Patrick I believe you are correct, my error in use of Sportmobile.
I spoke to owner today and he says it is a 4 seater and not for the feint of
heart. He's looking for 3k but offers have been too low. Don't know the story
behind the year issue (there is also a 1961? MGB available from a different
seller) but my impression is that it's one of the 643 you mention.
