Someadditionalinformation:
  • I have to assume the mileage indicated is not the actual mileage, based on what I found during the reassembly.
  • I bought the car disassembled (it was an unfinished father-son restoration project) and put it back together
  • All fluids were changed when I first got the car in early 2016 and have been changed on schedule since then. Brake fluid just changed last week, oil and coolant most recently changed a few months ago.
Here’s the original data plate info for A9UF743880 (I only have this as written notes):Body 58DColor ME1
Trim 24
Date 13H
Trans 3
Axle 2
    From what I can cobble together between the notes in the file folder, the additional data plate I found under the carpet, and my observations assembling the car, the previous owners took the best bits from another car, A9UF731849, and put them on this one.The data plate info for that car is as follows (I have this data plate):
    Body 58D
    Color EP1
    Trim 501
    Date 01D
    Trans (blank)
    Axle 3
    The reproduction data plate currently on the car is a combination of those two showing the car as currently assembled.
