A dashboard never cut for a radio, I like that, a rare plus-2 seat as well.

Can't see a vent behind the rear quarter light - I thought a Mark 2 should have had those?
Wonder what happened to the steering wheel...

Only the early cars had the little vents, I think the change was early 83 ish. Yes was wondering about the wheel too, mine had a crack where that one was broken, perhaps just some heavy handling whilst trying to move the car around reaching in to turn the steering and a lack of a nut on the screw.

My Bronze was made in 1984, but it had the little vents. Maybe either mine - or this one - was a Friday car...

Ah OK, I've got an 82 registered car with them, and an 83 registered car without them, perhaps they only fitted them when they were in stock, then gave up on them later on.

Intruiging - but is the 83 registered car actually older than the 82 registered one? Maybe (unless you built them both) the 83 registered one was built by someone who was REALLY lazy...

The late 82 car is 120. and the late 83 car is 183. I have a late 86 car too which is 257. Some might say greedy, I prefer eccentric

The one for sale is 185.

Mine was 241, I think. Must have been a random fitment...
