Why not contact the owner, Robert Daniels, for more info? I couldn't find anything else on this car either. I guess it's some kind of limited production or kit car. The only other "Convair", other t

I believe you are right that the vinyl boot and/or B382xxxxxx serial number are generally regarded as defining the MK 1A versus the Mk 1. I will blame my misunderstanding on some imprecise language
