Hi John,

This car is absolutely 100% the original CF3 car. The information on the advert is accurate and very honest.
As you say, it's the getting rid of nearly all of the patina that's the bad thing.
At least all the dashboard items are retained, even the original gear stick knob and the Moto-Lita steering wheel. The seats are new. It used to have Paddy Hopkirk 'Billover' seats.

If the older colour scheme (which I'm sure this car never had) was done correctly, as far as CF2 goes, the 'Chequered Flag' lettering should be in a gentle arc on the rear sides. It used to follow the arc of the top of the panel. It was straight on one version of CF1 though, but this isn't CF1.
