The Dark Wob

Quite interesting, that 2m figure over a 48 year period. By comparison, production in the period after 1952 included 300,000 pre-Farina Cambridges and half a million A30/A35 variants. Over a million Austin-badged ADO16s were also built after that.

WTF is going on with the panel in front of the door? It looks about three inches lower.

It's normal. It's the door and the rear quarter that has the obligatory 70s underseal tide mark.

I agree most were tidemarked to perfection but it still could be a GRP/replacement wing fitted onto a car with black sills. I concur that it looks like a base (judging by the wheels) and thus not likely to be "R" packed but the facelift did bring some rationalisation of those trim levels.

TL:DR - I've seen more Capri facelifts with black sills than without.

I bet the conductor is worried that if the VW gets caught there'll be an immediate fireball and all the bus passengers will be incinerated.
