[quote=xb-60;1208686]Tim - I had a look around in the Registry pages. Here is some of the information I found, as well as my slant on it.
Cars listed in the same order as your photos.

CSX2151 (Hairy Canary)
Gained widened flares post 2003
(owned 2002-2003 by Kevin Kivlochan of COB6008 fame)
My interpretation – flares added later

Kevin bought the car from the States in bits,then sold it to Bill Bridges,the current owner to finance buying CSX2142.

I have spoken to Bill on many occasions regarding this car, the flares were added quite a few years before the car came to the UK.

2367 is my favorite and the car I chose to replicate.

Harold - I see in the Registry (p135) that in 1974 when still a LHD in America, 2151 was wearing < 8" mag wheels >, so is it safe to assume that 2151 needed flared guards to cover these wheels in 1974, and then when Bill Bridges eventually bought the car in around 2003, he modified the existing flares to very adequately accommodate (see posted pic) < Black 7.5" Halibrands >?
But hey, I'm splitting hairs, yes? These are all nice, modified CSX2xxx cars with history!

Cheers,
Glen

I would imagine Bill did modify the flares if neccessary to comply with the FIA regulations.
