Hi

I'm sure this gets asked lots of times ... Have seen a 53 RHD oval - LSV 601. Can any one tell me if this is a genuine UK car, date registered and orig colour?

Cheers

This is a RHD 1953 car but the original colour would of been L35 Metal blue ,this is visible when you look in the engine bay and other places.
I'm trying to record all original RHD UK cars and when I looked this one up with DVLA it was first registered on 15,11,1984 so looks likely to be an import.
