Jon..
Yes,well spotted,the body is resting on a chassis,there's also an early front axle attached,pre Ruby,but the only listing for a separate chassis is lot no. 1482, listed as a Ruby ?.. it's all a bit of a mess with Austin parts well scattered.. I was busily occupied searching for any Allard associated bits and pieces.
I don't believe it's actually attached to the chassis, just resting on it.
The chap to ask for is Barry,very helpful fella.
Jeff..
Hand on heart I couldn't say, the rear of the car was shrouded in several piles of wheels and tyres.. I didn't notice the seams. I've to speak with the vendor tomorrow, I'll ask him to check it out if you wish?
Tony made the point of so many individual items rather than bulking them up into various larger lots.. point well made.
It's going to be a long day should you attend.

I believe from the auction photo Lot 866 is an RN body - is Lot 867 an RP, Albert ?
