Nice. Pity the fuel tank is in the wrong place or am I missing something?

Thanks for the link Roy. Especially of interest for me as my 356 came to me minus any paperwork at all but after receiving a Cert of Authenticity based on the car's chassis number this showed first port of call being San Antonio Texas, so I shall endeavour to get in contact with Bob Jones provided he still has a resto shop in that location just to see if he might have a record of my car. A long shot but I may be lucky.

Neil,

The fuel tank is not shown at all. The area it sits on though is. They had this built only for chassis training.

Is that it resting behind the passenger seat? Clearly early days of chassis training.

Love the photos, at first I was thinking it was a scale model.

Ah Neil, yes now I see that tank behind the seat used only to test the engine. I should have looked more closely.
