This is most likely a car first sold in California, USA due to the "J62" prefix on the VIN. The year of mfg. was a California requirement and to my knowledge this was only done there.

This car needs verification of the VIN, the white car is likely the original 885440. If anyone has more info please contact the webmaster.

The car has Heritage Certificate, also Customs &Excise receipt, also engine number matches and correct VIN number is stamped on picture frame, photos of these can be posted

Thank you for the confirmation Mike, we stand corrected, the record has been updated. One photo of the white car remains as an alert that at some point, hopefully by error, another car claimed this VIN.
