That would seem to make sense. Did cars get registered in the US when
they landed, or when they were sold? If the latter, it is also
possible that yours sat at a dealership for a while after it arrived in
your country. Mine certainly sat at a dealership for a couple of
months before being sold.

I wonder how many differences there are between the two cars, aside from
the LHD/RHD thing? Do you have the long cowl headlamp surrounds?
Recessed or flush dash controls?

No. I believe she was built sometime around August 1963, but I haven't
got a BMHIT certificate. She was first registered on 1st October,
1963.

Quite possible. What are your engine and body numbers? Mine are:
Engine: GA123919HE
Body: 88318 RAT

Mine is pretty much original, although I have had to replace the
carpets, and at some point early in her life she was fitted with
enormous 1940s horns, and a bank of gauges. White with Matador Red
interior. You can see some pictures at
