If it is the same bodyshell, it must have been made over at some later date although the points above are all minor and easy to change during a respray etc. In any event, someone has spent a lot of time gathering WP branded parts and adapting the shell to have a similar WP look to the roofline and windows. <br /><br />I can't say categorically they are the same car or if the car for sale on a 'D' plate is genuine or not, but so much is dubious about it's history and provenance, that it's not actually worth more than any standard mini of that era in my view.

The request was from a TV company who were going to film a series of shows called 'Pawn Stars' which is or was a successful U.S TV series. Anyway I turned it down, not just because I didn't have the time but because the plan was I had to evaluate the car for them and I don't know enough about late cars!
