Looks fairly convincing and the commission number is in a genuine format. Do=
n=E2=80=99t recall the range but this car looks like one of the last numeric=
ally. Exceptions are:

Steering wheel looks like one from a 4a as there=E2=80=99s no black cover ov=
er the spokes.
Triumph word across bonnet and not the squarish TR250 plate offset to the le=
ft as per steering wheel.
No bonnet stripe. Pity.
No reflective stripes on the hood but then you only got a factory hood or to=
nneau in white or black and this looks like a double duck hood in blue. Woul=
dn=E2=80=99t worry me but then I hate cars that strive for the original look=
.
Fuel filler doesn=E2=80=99t look quite right though 250s and all US 6=E2=80=99=
s had different filler caps to rest of world models
Instrument panel definitely non standard but then the originals were awful a=
nyway and looked mostly like stained plywood.
They got the colour right. Valencia Blue was as common as hog**** in 68.
Price looks outrageous and it ought to have overdrive for that much.
