HI Rande,
its the same car as in Norms book.
At the end of the day I guess its an Alger conversion with a Harrington
roof!!!
I spoke to the seller who seemed to think that it was worth
significantly more than a Le Mans or Tiger
I think the history he gives may be true or have some truth in it, but
it doesn't make it a factory rally car.
regards
Jeff
