never seen that one before!
i suspect it doesn't have a bellett/wasp engine tho.... the gearstick looks very gemini to me, and they aren't interchangeable.
rego number is about right for the era.
has no "wasp" badges, and the grille and headlight surrounds are early bellett sedan, but the bumper is wasp.
tailights aren't original.

and yep, only 122.... and might be 20 on the list still known, but at a stretch, including wrecks/parts cars.

That will still be a 3 bearing motor, but possibly not original - 20 to 30,000 units newer than the Wasps I've known. Only 300-odd older than Dennis's new '66 1/2 sedan.

The gearstick looks similar to Florian or '69 on sedans to me? Could have the all synchro. (or a late stick!)

Cheers, Matt.

i'm betting it's had a transplant too matt, coz that gearstick ain't original, and that engine # is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too high!

Anybody going to take the plunge? Looks like a good unit!
