electra225 ◊ 2013-01-08 14:31	Dear DSL this mistake was probably due to the fact that at the time in Italy they were reversed. On the rear you had first the letters for the town and that the numbers. In the front the opposite.

DynaMike ◊ 2013-01-08 17:52	I think the only external difference is a Mk.IX badge on the bootlid, and bigger taillights on the last versions of the Mk.IX. Looks to me there isn't the Mk.IX badge, but on theother hand the taillights look like the bigger ones (same as on the XK 150). So I still cannot make out which one this will be...
