This car is visually beautiful, but I wonder how it can claim to have been restored "to the highest Austin-Healey Gold Concours standards" when it has a Phase 2 VIN (and a non-factory issue VIN plate), the front and rear shroud light configuration and exterior door handles of a Phase 1 car, and an engine serial plate that also looks suspiciously like a replacement? Not sayin' it isn't really 27475, but I would need some more evidence to be convinced.

Got more evidence and I'm convinced. This car was originally a BJ7, but has been restored to the highest BJ8 Austin-Healey Gold Concours standards with reproduction identity plates.
