Thanks, Dan!

This would be great, as long as the build year is before July 1987. How can I get some sort of documents for that, even some stats from a registry in the internet would be enough.

As for the body shape, look closely when comparing to a CSX3000. I believe the front fenders are wider and drawn downwards to accommodate a wider track of the front (torsionbar) Jag suspension.

I had 3-3080 here is South-Africa in 2002, which was meant to be the launch car in 1987(?). But locally built cars were only a third of a CCX, so none got sold.

Dom,

The front fender turn down was correct, when I was parked next to CSX3035 and a couple other 60's cars I have witnessed the front fender was almost identical. As stated in numerous text these cars all were differnt as they were hand built. Therefore, I have also seen a sharper more 45 degree front fender of course along with FIA sharp.

As far as the track width? You may be right because CCX did take a few liberties in order to make things work.

Thanks Dom! Great input, I will make it a question for Peter bayer.
