So I’ve got the Car!! After a bit of poking about I found a (new) log book in the glove box and a number plate in the boot! Turns out it’s actually a 1951 401 that’s been rebadged 403 and had an anti roll bar and the Ali fin brakes added. However it’s definitely a 401 as it’s got the old style shocks not the telescopic ones like on the 403. I’m guessing it was to flog it for more at some point or trick someone into thinking it had the 100 engine in. .
Plates match the v5.
It’s chassis 401/828
Car no 401/237
Engine was once 85C/1645
1951
I even have a reg.
Any other information in any record books anywhere?
The good news is that the gearbox and engine and head I have are now the right type!
