Don't know the car, the best place to go for info on these is the AVO club.

PM tim on here What he doesn't know about Mexico's isn't worth knowing

[mk1mexico]

Looks good, the strut tops look to have been repaired rather than have the correct plates, but thousands have so its not a definitive reason, looks to have wrong centre console and wrong seat material but otherwise i like that,

[Retro-gone.]

so do we think its a genuine mexico?

and is it worth the asking price?

Love the colour

As someone said above about strutt tops, for 10k id want them to be totally correct, and also want to know about the holes in the heater bowl, and battery in the boot. but does look like its worth a viewing, and see what you could get it for. Take a spotter with you, just to be on the safe side

Battery was moved under the bonnet in August 72 so is correctly placed on an L plate.

 

Tony, there's just not enough information in those photos to say whether it's a genuine Mex or not.

ok thanks , if i could get the chassis no would that help identify it, or could that just mean someones swapped it over?

[Vista]

The Chassis no would identify if the chassis no was for a mex or not but they're so easy to change on these cars that it wouldn't conclusively proce the identity of the car.

 

Chassis no is found on the vin plate on the slam panel and the offside strut top..............the're both so easy to change though they're almost meaningless
