<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Circular instruments were introduced in
this model in 1969 before they were available in the UK.<br>
<br>
Likewise the headrests are correct for this car.<br>
<br>
The SUs, intake manifold and associate linkages are missing.<br>
<br>
I've also seen box pleated leather on a 1973 2200TC imported to
the USA from France. The cars sent to the USA and Canada (a few
leftovers went to Europe) had Ambla, and it wears like iron, looks
like leather.<br>
<br>
There were a number of parts unique to what I call the Federal
3500s. The door cards and armrests, the hood scoops and associated
summer/winter doors for them, the bumpers, other parts. This car
also had electric power windows and a big heavy reinforcing bar
inside the doors. Some things like the round gauges carried over
to the later Series 2 cars. The later series were imported to the
USA in the 1971 model year, but only a handful made it here.
Result of all this is that the bonnet with the power bulges is
very rare in the USA, and some parts for our 3500S never had
aftermarket replacements produced and must come from donor cars.<br>
<br>
Most of this is in the James Taylor which seems to be very
accurate about the P6 models sent to the USA and Canada. Frankly,
what's in the classic books is very accurate, but somehow the
internet (primarily, I suppose, the search engines) have tended to
mix and match facts through associating things that are unrelated.
I see stuff on the web that was never properly researched and
validated but becomes "common knowledge" through some process.<br>

Wrong air cleaner it wouldn’t fit on original twin SU's carbs
Bonnet and grills are pre facelift 70-71: circular instruments
introduced in 71 : tear-drop headrests introduced in 72 :leather
replaced Ambla in 72 .I have seen box pleated leather seats on a
73 car here in new Zealand
<br>
the condition of the engine bay is more than likely with over 100K
<br>
miles certainly not a car with only 3000 . The speedos on our cars
were dual marked Miles/ Kilometres and our 72 had a Km odometer.
These date from the James Taylor book and may vary on an American
.

You are absolutely right. Bollocks about the seats being
leather
<br>
and crap about the odometer being in kilometres. As I have
said

elsewhere, on what planet is this dealer if he thinks that
the UK

inspired

I'll say what Jonathan was too polite to say...
<br>
<br>
3000 miles. I don't think so. The SUs and air cleaner are
gone at
<br>
3000 miles? Also, once again listed a 3600S is listed as
having
<br>
leather seats when they are Ambla with sagging cushions at
3000
<br>
miles. And it's not a 315 cubic inch engine.
<br>
<br>
Why is it reading in kilometers? Was it imported from
Belgium or
<br>
something? I'm pretty sure the Canadian cars still read in
miles
<br>
back then.
<br>
<br>
Looks like a nice car, but not 3000 miles.
