Hi Mike,
I will take a look but there should be two holes. One for the screw and one for the tab on the back of the coat hook.
Oh I should add, the fresh paint work on the RHD 68S is all in the original colour Blood Orange.
Thanks
Alan

Yes I forgot to mention the two holes I 'think' I feel are side by side rather than one above the other.......weird
Regards
Mike

Sorry to hear you`re suffering, hope it`s not that flu you get off birds, the far east is a well dodgy place.
Get well soon,it`s rotten feeling rotten
Mike

Well, if it's the car I think it is (LOF 10F?) then it was originally a Sporto? When I spoke to Max @ Revival Cars about her, the previous owner still had the original Sporto box somewhere
Being short wheelbase it's very different - you'll need to rev the whatsits off the engine to get the torque and all in all they're like exciting 356's to drive

They move around on 'tippie toes' on the road - great fun and you'll love it

is it SWB ??

Hi,
This car is the last of the SWB cars and being a S the real fun starts at 5.5-6k rpm. These early 2.0Ss love to rev. They are fine to drive normally, but when you open the taps and keep them open the fun really starts.
