Need some help in ID-ing this Series 2
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I ran into this Series 2 today, which was parked outside one of the few "restorers" here in Taiwan (I write "restorer" in brackets as I should never ever consider to buy a car from them, you know what I mean).
Anyway, I had a quick check, and to my surprise the body seems to be in a far better condition then I have ever seen before, without any visible rust or bad panels.
These cars are very very rare here (have only seen 2), and although I know all the cons of such project, I will be running the numbers for a multi-year restoration.
As a start, I was wondering if anyone here can determine the year (and perhaps specification) from the pictures (sorry for the bad quality).
Much appreciated!
Eric
