I like how "Full Matching Number" is a phrase in with all the French:

====

B24S1667 a été livrée neuve aux Etats-Unis, de livrée grise intérieur rouge et accompagnée d'un hard-top assorti (extrait de la fiche d'usine) :

Numéro de châssis B24S - 1667
 Numéro de moteur MOT B24 N.1763
 Couleur : Griggio - Cuir Rouge

La voiture est à ce jour Full Matching Number, livrée avec son rarissime hardtop d'origine et en conduite intérieure gauche.

Strangely I received an email yesterday from the original Finnish (?) ebay seller (@£30.000) together with more photos showing chassis number, engine number etc:
"Hello


The car just arrived in UK on Friday from USA to Southampton.
USA clear title available, duty has been paid Friday.
I will be back in UK on 1st Dec. as i am in Oulu, Finland, where we own a restoration shop:
www.old-import-cars.com
Please send me your full name , address and phone number and we can make a
reservation to consider the car sold.
If you are a serious buyer then i can meet you on 1st Dec or later,
but not earlier as we need few days more to finish a project in the workshop.

Thank you,
Otto Joona"

I am not quite sure what to make of this - maybe he initially got the decimal point in the wrong place.....or maybe its something more sinister.
Whatever, I think its a waste of time so I have no further interest.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck .........

Looking at the French advert I realise that they are strange looking carburettors on this car - they don't look like period Webers or Solexs to me.
