Default LHD production numbers

The car looks the same in almost every respect to my 412usa, with the exception of the emission controls.

Default LHD production numbers

It is an S2 body as it has the targa top, however it wears the Beau
nose and repeaters. It is odd that it has the single exhaust given
there is no evidence of the turbo charger and it has a clock rather
than a boost gauge in the instrument binnacle, but as I said it has
the pigs trotter exhaust. The question is, was this a factory pre-
production styling exercise for the Beaufighter, Was it the first/one of the first Beaufighters that was later neutered or is it an S2 an owner
have it's appearance upgraded later?

Any ideas?

Paul
