Hi
Difficult know what is original. according to Wiki Quote: | After about 50 cars were made it was upgraded to the Mk II which was the same car but fitted with a proprietary curved glass windscreen, replacing the original flat-glass split type, and the larger 1600 cc MGA engine. Approximately 400 of the Mk I and II were made |
So it has a Mk1 chassis number if that is what the #33 represents but it has a Mk11 windscreen.
The rear view looks the same as the Mk11 one I have in a book "The Enthusiasts Guide to Buying A British Sports Car" but the view of the front in that book doesn't seem to show a front indicator light on the MK11.
It is quite possible that with low volume produced cars like this manufacturers would have varied them for special customers/orders. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
