Another shot of Janis Joplin's 356 c

Weird how there's blue on the bumper on your piccy and not on he one she's sitting on. In fact the whole wing looks different - perhaps she had two.

- Edit - unless one of the pictures was the wrong way round/inverted - would that be possible?

Yes the one "mycar" posted is inverted, look at the wipers and rear view mirror positioned as if it was a RHD car.

This is Jack Tordoff pictured in his '73 RS (note the registration JCT600).
The photograph shows him competing in the RAC Rally in 1974.
By which time he also owned a brand new '74 Carrera 2.7.
A car which I now own.

A car or "the" car?

Yes, 'the' car. First registered to Jack himself on his other personal plate JCT 2. I've discovered it was built real early, probably Sept 1973 (it was registered in the UK first week of Jan '74). It must be one of the very first RHD '74 cars. The chassis number is within a hundred of the IROC cars the factory built at the start of the new model year.
I've got more fascinating stuff on it but not really correct for this thread, maybe another time.
