I bought an A Coupe body from a guy one time who had copied the Factory dolly, try getting three wheels onto a trailer and then try keeping it in one place, it was a nightmare.

Normally hard or not to get. Colours? I would say tangerine and green metalic. Are there only these two or some more pics?

Can't imagine that sort of thing these days except for Morgan, Koenisegg, and other small specialty builders.
