Jamz,
Where is it? I have a mate that knows EVERYTHING there is about these shells.

The only problem you have, is that without the ID tags, it is HIGHLY unlikely to be a genuine shell, but a standard item with all the Type 49 bits welded in. Obviously to someone just wanting to build a nice car, this isn't a problem, but if you thought that the Cossie bufty boys were anal, this is NOTHING to what the Mk1 boys are like.

FYI, a genuine type 49 shell should fetch well into four figures.

Perfect Mkl RS2000s go for £12-15k .
