The vinyl roof is unusual on an early TC too, a period extra maybe?
Looks complete too, does it have the early type grille badge as well? :D

Yeah the vinyl was stuck on a few years ago I believe, you can see the lovely Teal Blue underneath that she will be restored back to eventually!

I'm not going to lie to you... I wouldn't know the difference! She has a MK2 boot as well apparantly (hence the lack of TC badge on it). I am still learning the colours at the moment, next week is different badge types :lol:

Don't worry about the boot lid, my TC has a Mk2 item on it at the moment...
The original skin had parted company from the frame due to rust!
