1958 model year export fuel tank

Post by g80csp11 »

Ive just taken delivery of a 1957 (58 model year) G80S , originally supplied directly to Rhodesia high commission
I believe it would have had chrome side panels (export model) , but my question is did the tank still have the cut out for the single saddle , or was it filled in by then prior to the center seam 1960 on-wards tanks

I have a tank that has chrome side panels , and the cut out may have been filled in or of course could be original
Yes I know yellow was not a AMC standard
