small pic I know, but if it had a lid you'd see it.
Racy, don't worry about your aircleaner, the pic I posted for you before is the same car. Here it is again for you

I have also had a look through some magazines and found an article and pics of a proto type LH. Interestingly they refer the new cars as SLR and SLR XU-2 as the 308

Hi Guys.

A bit off-topic I realise, but the above lo-profile HQ-style console is actually from the later HQs.

The early HQ had a similar type but had no bin at all. It had 2 small pockets at the rear to store the seatbelt buckles when not in use. I think they changed to the long open bin type when seat belt 'stalks' were introduced.

Dr Terry.

Racy,
if i'm reading the right number its 003535M or body number 426857H
what about your numbers, would be interesting to see some real early SL/Rs.
BTW mine is 4/74 not 3/74 as stated in previous post, my bad!
