A wonderful photo, Tony. As far a I am concerned, that qualifies as a genuine 'Ulster', since that is the name everyone knows for the standard Sports model. Perhaps we should refer to it as something else, maybe an 'Australian Ulster', after all a Speedy with an Arrow body will be referred to as a Competition Arrow rather than a Speedy...
If your Rolt-bodied car started life as an 'Ulster' then I don't see why it should lose that identity just because its body has been replaced; many years ago when I restored my 'Ulster' I went to great lengths to preserve as much of the original body as possible, but it still ended up with a whole side-panel of new metal - does that make it a 'Half-Ulster'?
