Chris - you are so right. Because of the contemporary Australian Import conditions, only one out of three imported cars were allowed in with a complete "foreign" body (and that with a very high tariff). So quite a few Ulster rolling chassis complete with genuine mechanicals arrived here. They were placed under all sorts of locally-built bodies, thus the difficulty in recognising an AE here. Because of this most "Experts" in the UK don't recognise our sports and supersports as kosher and ignore recording our details, even though only the bodies may look different.. Rant over. Cheers, Bill in Oz
