Interesting one here ...

Wonder what the chassis no is ? Possible an S ? Somehow I’m struggling to believe it’s a 3.0 , I imagine that’s was the moniker it was given due to the body style . Could be a 2.4 or 2.7 though ?

This was discussed on the forum recently. I could be mistaken, but some discrepancies seem to be apparent with the questionable chassis number stamping, with the number '3' being the wrong type.
This may be a c1974 car with an earlier engine fitted and the chassis number 'restamped' with the 1972 identity.
No idea what part of the car has actually done 9000 miles.. The tyres maybe?
