What have I found?
Not sure what year this could be as was so dark I was lucky to get these photos. I could not see the rear but know it must be an oval. I had not
realized its a Rag top nor did I see what look like semaphores ? Any ideas

Take some pics around the b pillar and doors as it may be a 54 from the colour
also the sunroof front area and internal handle to see if its a Goldie roof maybe a after market
Is the car in Sydney ?? I know of only 2 other factory sunroofs in Sydney I have one a 56

Now up for auction. Prediction is for $5-$10k. I think that may be a bit conservative.

That's unreal- I was going to comment from the first pic that something was wrong. It had the wipers and interior mirror of a left hand drive car,
but quite obvious the steering wheel on the right.
