First up thanks to John Dean for putting me into contact with Ray Colenso & Andy Fischer to help identify this car.

Over the last few days we have worked out via series of emails that this car is Andy's first Kingfisher of this design as this car was nickel bronzed while his later cars were MIG welded. Andy sold this car to Frank Bathgate in 1982.
Of the other Kingfischer's of similar design, around the same time. The car Ray Colenso owned had the gear change moved from the left to the right side of the car before he bought it from Andy (Ray being a open wheel purist). We know where that car is and also where another Kingfischer is that is hiding in WA awaiting a second life.
I have also checked with CAMS regarding the admin paperwork, so we extremely confident of this cars identity.
So now the seller has correct log book number for the cars so the log book can be re-issued and if the new owner wants to make it Historic there is a definate link to it's pre 85 past.
Again thanks to everyone who helped in the FVAV and CAMS.
