Seems a bit high estimate wise....and even I can spot a number of incorrect details.

Hi Jonathan,
I quite like that.
Which details are troubling you? Webers, of course, but it says it comes with the Solexes for refitting. Mostly I thought it looked well done. Much better than the one in the Porsche museum anyway!
Cheers, Richard.

Four screw grilles....for a 66 car?
Brass ignition surround....again, wasn't that on earlier cars?
The blue one at Bonhams looks better to my eye anyway....

You’re probably right!
Certainly true that brass bezel and 4-screw grilles are correct for MY65. No idea when they stopped; I’m no expert on anything between April ‘65 and Dec ‘68 (MY69).
Artcurial one also has the wipers parking on the right. Maybe it’s a 65 wannabe!
