History of Car and any work or modifications carried out: This Frogeye is an early model with chassis number 1991. It was first registered in July 1958. It has the early 9 stud screen and all the features of an early Mk1 including the triangular reinforcing plates in the rear floor/wheel arch area, the closing off plates on the front chassis rails, the smaller trailing arm brackets and coil on top of the dynamo to name but a few. The car has been restored over the years and most recently by myself. The car was registered on the Isle of Wight and the original owner is still alive and kicking.
