Yes standards had no trim and only half of the headliner, do a search in the gallery for some images _________________ Aust. RHD 66 Type 1

It does not have original chassis so I don't know for sure chassis that comes with it has hydraulic brakes |

... I believe the Canadian Special had just the big over head headliner and painted metal, otherwise, like a standard... had juice brakes. They were unusual and beautiful examples. _________________ 5/50, pastel green 11G - SOLD
