That extra windshield AND the ashtray makes that a lot more desirable!

To stop someone pushing it on to a trailer to "borrow" it permanently, perhaps.

  Is there a ignition key unit on column? It’s part of the anti-thief system. The pin on mine was locked up removed and cleaned it. Still a work in progress for a key tumbler housing though.🤔

It also has the uber-rare Stromberg High Balance-bar intake manifolds.  They only came on ROW Europa TCs and for a short time on some Euro Elans.
