similar yet different !

The Cordite has a longer headrest ...full length and moved backwards , Andy's was shortened in position.
Andy's car has a longer feel to the front ahead of the wheels as he wanted the Lancia bonnet and this meant moving the entire front forward , headlights and grille to make it work...The Cordite has the headlights , wheel arches etc in the same position as before but the grille comes forward a bit more , it is balanced nicely due to the taller aperture and higher bonnet line generally to clear the Spit carbs.....Andy's bonnet has big valley's either side of the centre due to the increased length ....the Cordite has very shallow valleys and a flatter appearance ....still very curved but not as dramatic...

The addition of doors changes the side profile a lot as well.....

reading back , they are actually very different !!!

I will get the pictures up as fast as I can as they can tell the story a lot better than me !!
