I agree, that RHD 356A looks a really nice car. Very nice, never seen it before to my knowledge.

Hi Roy , hope you and the car are well !

Fred H of PCGB says the last time he saw this car was circa 2000 , it has changed hands since . Maybe it will show up at Hedingham :?:

I saw it at Hedingham in 2011 or 2012 (when I was specifically looking at "aquamarine blue" cars). I have photos somewhere and will post when I have chance.

Hi Keith , more pics will be good . This particular car is close to non-metallic aquamarine in colour ,however its paint is actually metallic in the flesh . It is not the ex Border Reivers / ex Scots lighthouse car that Jason got gazumped on !

Apologies for the very poor quality... searched high and low for the digital images without success so have had to photograph the hard copy photos I have. Both taken Hedingham 2011. Definitely a darker colour than flat aquamarine (which I don't think was available in 56), so presumed non-standard.

Don't mention the infamous 356 in a steel storage container in the middle of nowhere (35 VHX) otherwise Jason will get wound up again (and rightly so)!!!

Does anyone know the chassis number of this car?
I saw a 57 Aquamarine over red car for sale back in 1992 with chassis number 101046 is this the same car?
