Hi Chris,
The car is interesting indeed. I thought all Series 1 VDP (1981) had
leather upholstery. I have a set of seats like those pictured and am
certain that they came from a Series 1 3500SE (1981). This is the first
LHD 1981 I have ever seen. BL sent a test fleet of '81's to the US and
my seats came out of one of those. Ted Schumacker wound up with all of
them under a contract that said they all had to be destroyed. There
can't have been too many LHD '81 VDP, but if I had to guess, I'd say the
car was a modified SE. I don't think the front spoiler was factory
installed either.
Roverly,
Kent K.
