Hi Chuck
CF 75. SPD 268 L Convertible. Engine number 1123R8KR is already listed on the Register. Also with the same URL….
http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1199418993044029044ypmeAC Just checked with the Museum and it's still there and has been since I last saw it a good 20 years or more ago. I remember they also added a fastback some time afterwards but that's since been sold.
An additional important reference point to remember with the 428 is that the last letter on each number plate issued between 1963 and 1983 defined the year of first registration as per the list below; plus the URL. So as CF 75 ends in L this makes it between 1st August 1972 until 31st July 1973. Unfortunately I still can't trace the posting and exact CF number which tells from when the early fascia and flip switches were altered, but from memory it might have been from CF 48 onwards. In which case as this would have been the letter H all suffixes after that will have the later fascias and roll over switches.
