Brian,
another give away regarding its European heritage is the fact that
it's got the European front position/direction lamp lenses with
clear outer glass and amber inner filters for the direction bulbs.
Part Nos RTC 1795 / 1795 - as opposed to the American all amber ones
Part Nos RTC 1381 / 1382. It looks like it have the red rear side
markers, not the amber front ones at the rear also. [Fitting amber
ones at the rear is the trick to beat the European regulations...]
Nice car!
