tore-40 ◊ 2017-01-18 21:00	It is. JBP475 could be a 1964 number, thus the erratic listing. Rather an 'Ovali', could be an early import but more likely a later CKD.

rjluna2 ◊ 2017-01-19 18:08	Then should this be 1953-57 version?
MisterZ ◊ 2017-01-20 16:12	Sorry. I listed as 1964 because that's when JBP was issued, but sometimes a new plate can be put on an older car (such as when someone brings over a car from interstate). So feel free to change the year.
tore-40 ◊ 2017-01-20 19:18	FYI, there was no 1200 yet back then (1200 engine added late 1953 but much later as a model name)
130rapid ◊ 2017-03-11 18:03	Sold since March 1954, in June 1954 it got 1192 cc. engine, but called 'Export Deluxe' still.
130rapid ◊ 2017-03-11 18:08	And I believe it's 1956+ 'Coral Red'.
