There were in fact two Gurney Nutting boat tail two/three seaters built. One of them is my car - Ch. 1222 and the other one is the car shown above. (Information from Wayne Kennerley.)

According to Clare Hay, the body fitted to Chassis 612 (above) is a rebody as it was originally fitted a Gurney Nutting two-door Weymann Saloon body. She says that the same style was fitted as new to Chassis 1222 finished in, perhaps, maroon colour.

The above photos have been reproduced from magazine illustrations of Chas K Bowers no. 3583 and 3584.
