Sure. Early cars had different suspension parts that were historically accurate and correct, the frames were more accurate to original, they had Girling brakes. They even have the dimples on the head light trim rings. They had leather seats and the correct wool carpeting (now an option). As to the specifics of the differences you would have to get that from Bill Andrews at HRE but suffice it to say over the years there were changes that deviated from original design.
Most important to me, however, is the fact that my car and the early cars were all built at a time when Carroll was very involved in operations of his company and he was there frequently. My car and all the early cars were at SAI when Carroll was there walking the floor and very involved in his company and making his cars available to the public once again.
My car was even signed by him with my CSX#. This will be a coveted factor in years to come.
To me these factors mean something.
