Is it a CKD car built in South Africa or an import?

Been discussing some of the differences with Alan Wiedie such as bonnet catches fitted after painting here & in their original plating rather than (half) painted as they did in Brown's Lane & the long list goes on.
As I said to Alan who is helping me with the convoluted inlet pipe & sleeve... ~ I have been closely studying the S Type for the past 30 years. While some things never changed it is extremely difficult to restore to any single standard as no such thing exists. Because somebody took delivery of a car new from Browns Lane & have owned it ever since is no guarantee that a car produced 3 weeks later would be identical. It likely won't be. Bring the South African assembled S Types from both the CDA Plant in East London & Cape Town Plant in Blackheath into the equation and the water is further muddied. All one can do is one's best & try to have a photographic record of new production at one time close to your production date to back up your decision as to what is "standard". Books from James Taylor et al are full of errors.
