CSX3006 - What's the story here??

[CobraAddict]

I find on the interweb two completely different cars, one LHD blue and one RHD white both claiming to be CSX3006.

Whats the hell is going on here ???

That's an interesting predicament.
Both seem real, and price reflects that.
How does the numbering system work for the world?

It's the same car. Pictures are from different periods.

Legendary Motorcar in Canada restored CSX3006 a couple years ago taking the car back to left hand drive with special blue paint.

Personally I think it should have stayed in the Chequered Flag configuration accounting for the racing history.

Yup,
Same Car!

Originally the car was LHD and Guardsman with a brightner.
Basically the car in RHD white was a conversion made after the car was involved in racing overseas.
I guess there is a decision to make when a vcar gets restored
Leave it as is?
Return it to original?

We know that decision, for one I like it as it is now brighter Guardsman. In either case the car was unvalued at auction in Wht and Guards, market will catch up.
Painting my car (HTM111) the same color...

Same car. And a very cool car, with very cool history at that.........

Thanks for all your responses. That's a fascinating history which I shall remember. Especially ther LHD to RHD then back to LHD conversions presumably for racing.
