It’s a gem. Need more pictures but there’s lots of positives in that one.
Steering wheel & seats. Top of the front guards haven’t been caved in by people walking on them, looks to be the same with the rear. Windscreen frame is there, with glass and hinges.
That KO number will come up clearly when you run the sand blaster over it and get the paint out of the stamps. Definitely KO215.
Great stuff.

Sorry haven't been on for ages, I've been enthused by the 50th anniversary coming up. Still got another 12 months of study, if I pass.. So progress will be slow
