Where is the GT6+ emblem mounted? Towards the right, or in the center
(where the original GT6 badge would have been)? Do the rear bumper and
light arrangements resemble the "Mk.1" or the "+"? Is the Body number
fairly close to the Commission number (within, say, 25-50 numbers)?

Could be an incorrect speedo for the diff currently installed, or vica
versa. Most GT6s without OD used the 3.27:1 rear, while OD equipped cars
usually used a 3.89:1 diff.
