    On first glance it looks like the Zambrano car with the big rectangular (elgin clock) in the center console

    128F chassis (series II cab)
    GTE nose
    400SA tail

    tillicack restored it (spuced it up)for Pebble and won it's class 2 maybe 3 years ago

    Do I need to keep working on it, or am I on the right trail, do you now need the S/N

    You mean 2821GT? No way. All wrong.

    By the way, what's up with those vents behind the rear wheels and the odd shape of the rear quarter windows?

    Yep, it's 2207SA. Odd C-pillar shape and rear vent are a perfect match to the Superfast III/IV coachwork. I've never seen it with this nose before.

    In other news:

    Tom finds an old tail light lens sitting in an oily old cardboard box. He briefly examines it, and determines that it is from car #2234ZL.

    Wayne concurs and adds that it was previously a right hand side lens, but was moved to the left after the mechanic forgot to correctly mark the side it was removed from.

    I'm not making fun of you guys, I'm just ... amazed ... at your knowledge of these old cars.

    They could not think of getting the car sold with the weird looking nose of Superfast IV (it may also have suffered from cooling problems!) so they put on a standard open headlight nose of the production series and repainted into silver and got rid of it. Was golden in the 80's, now dark blue.

    Best wishes, Kare

    I bought a Cavallino Vol1 #1 from Mr. Kidd a couple of years ago. Seems like a nice fellow.

    Anybody know what cars he's owned?

    1000 times better looking with the single headlamps, just like 330 GT 2+2s :p

    The last picture shows 2373SA!

    I almost had a heart attack of the thought that somebody might have destroyed the few special features that still remains on 2207SA - mainly the unique C-pillar.

    so, the 2373 changed its colour from light metal blu to dark blu before 1998 and then back to light blu.
    Isn't it? and when did it happen?

    But don't forget the main theme: the # 2207!

    You're a troublemaker, Dr., but then again, I agree. (Perhaps 1,000%.)

    Call me weird, but I like the 4 headlight styling of the car. It's not as pretty as the standard 2 headlight version but very funky.

    Regards,

    Art S.

    PS. I'll take it in either 2 or 4 headlight form!

    Me too, love it ... much more exciting than the other 4 headlight attempt of the period ont he 2+2's.

    What a pity :( ... but ofcourse differing opinions will cause this. Hope they kept the nose.
