Good knowledge, certainly is a minefield on these classics!

Yes, started life a a standard car. On early H120's the Ammeter was replaced with the less useful oil temp gauge and this is a way of spotting if it was a standard car.
However, it isn't fool-proof as later H120's had an ammeter fitted due to (and this may only be a half-truth) the number of complaints dealerships received about the gauge often registering 110 degrees and higher! Despite the H120 owners manual stating that the recommended Shell Oil was well able to cope with these high temperatures, Rootes/Chrysler thought the best way of dealing with it was to remove the gauge: what the eye doesn't see...........:-).

As I thought then, as I live way up in the highlands of scotland a 20 hour round trip to the seller I dont think I will bother! Do like these rapiers in gold though.

Hi all, this was in east anglia car auctions last week, (NOT ACA anglia auction) i tried to see what it sold for, obviously less that the asking price but it was listed there as "h120 a-like" , as i understand its a standard rapier fastback , standard chassis number . the aution never listed the upgrades .
It was on ebay about a year ago with the bloke not answering questions directly and a few people got hacked off with him, a mate tried to look and got a bit of a runaround. if interested go and look and make up your own mind!

Sometimes I think laterally, but then I have to get up!

This sold recently at the EAMA auction. Described as not genuine h120 but h120 spec? Seller says it a genuine one. Any ideas?
