RHD Fuel Tanks - 356

Post by Mike Smith »

Information Required – Please


Late in 1964 - C`s and SC`s got the new RHD Wing-Fill Fuel Tank
For the records I am trying to work out - at which chassis number this occurred


Chassis -131 731 - Has the old Standard Rectangular Tank

Chassis -131 863 has the New RHD `Funny` Tank


Does anyone have a car between these numbers and can you let me know what tank is fitted – anything helps to tie these details down

Thanks for your Help

Mike
