Your 408-1-006 is listed in a chassis listed in the last such list produced on the 2nd June 1994 as having engine number 949.23842C, registration number 408VNK,
colour unknown, trim unknown status unknown but is registered in England in 1964 with a ?
Nothing else listed , at the time of the list there were maybe a maximum of 71 cars built your being number 6.

After that there were 17 cars produced with power steering as Mk2's.

Sorry I cannot be more helpful, perhaps the heritage trust has more information.

My own car a 407 is mechanically very similar to yours my engine number is 949.22797C and chassis number 6028 1-028
