Coincidentally, this is back on the market. 69E Sporto, Earls Court car, with a Sth African connection.leedurrant73 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:36 pm Hello,
I have never found enough info on the car unfortunately.
It was sold new in London but never registered and shipped to South Africa.
Was the 1st RHD 69t sportomatic manufactured that year (I think) but is now manual.
1 of 6 first batch production cars shipped to Uk for MY 69.
So not special from what I know. 00009 was the Earl’s Court car.
Really wish I could find more info but tried for years.
1st owner: M Black 148 the water gardens, Edgware rd. sw2.
The car came back to Uk in 2000.
I would think one of the earliest 69t cars in existence- Oct 68?
Appreciate you asking
