[hush316]

To many i need to sit and decide what exactly

its very straight i couldnt belive how good it was i am only the third owner its all original except the motor but i have the original motor and wheels for it.

i also have the owners manual its in overrated condition just a little discoloured

Yep thats a KE10 alright. Maybe a late one due to the grille, or an early one with the late 10 or 11 grille installed.

 

Either way it's a gem and I'm jealous. I'd love that owner's manual.

Fantastic! looks like a 67, whats the first 3 digits on the vin??

Have a look in the Rollaclub database (add your car on the end), it will help you figure out when your car was made.

 

Edit: Chobis, they come up on ebay fairly regularly.
