Yeah, could be, I seem to be having problems thinking clearly, everything is starting to be a bit CLOUDy, but the doctor said there may be a few side effects, especially if I took the tablets with SPIRITS instead of water!

Maybe you are changing into a Phantom Ghosty or worse still, a Wraith. But please don't drophead anytime soon. :lol:

This is specifically for "nearlymint", but please read and enjoy.

Nearlymint, can you please post a picture of your yellow preproduction 69c, but showing the open boot, in particular the 'hinge-arms', (like my example below). I want to see if the arms are curved or streight, inside the tight curvature, (arrowed in red on my picture) because so far, I have only seen the 'streight' arms, pulled over from #24c, the Silver Shadow saloon, when it was converted to a 'Superfast' model.

An enormous thank you, if you can do that for me... ;)

Thank's Jason, that is interesting to see the hinge-arms are of the curved design on the inner radius and not of the modified straight design, used on production models.

Cheers for that,
GHOSTHUNTER.

Do you think there must be some early production models with this early boot hinge.
