Sorry mates.

I'd forgotten how complicated it is here to put pictures within the text...
Yessss it's a P5b coupe built in Solihull in the beginning of 1968, a very rare beast in our countries nowadays.
And here is the genuine British plate, builder's id and even the paint sticker still under the bonnet.
Original paint, even with coachlines (but a few are missing, I'll give it to be completed).
A piece of history, the car of the late queen and several PM in the 60s, I love it!
