No firewall pad!  Was this feature added after #000014?

Nice car but... I cannot read the entire description too well, and if it says all original I have my doubts. The engine bay has been messed with. The breather hose is later, the hoodspring has been painted, and I think the firewall itself has been changed. And I think there was a pad there at one time.

Also, looks like newer style carpet (no rubber mats) and I think the seats are transposed. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this -- been known to happen! Still, pretty car. I am curious about the horn ring as well -- looks like mine but is not round like "early" ones are supposed to look like.

I'm also curious about the chrome around the air vents on the dash. Mine is #1515 and it has the round horn ring and painted dash around the air vents. And what happened to the center console?

My car is RHD # 2068, I have that steering wheel but not the chrome vents !

What James said about the firewall itself, the sheetmetal looks different here, very squared off, and the ridge that the three rubber bumpers sit on is only partially there !

Something is amiss !
