That's definitely a mark 2!, I remember as a kid (in the 80's) my granddad's mate had a 3.8 litre version. The guy had a plastic leg in later years lost in the WW2! he restored it himself.
I recall my granddad saying it was pretty quick, and the guy used to work on merlin spitfires engines after his accident in the war - he was a pilot!, real nice down to earth guy. He could diagnose engine problems by tapping on things - I vaguely recall this.
Piece of automotive history it will be worth quite a lot of money!

Hope you don't mind me joining your thread MB but I need the help of the identification experts and as they are already on your case I would like them to tell me what the car is in front on this oil that I snapped at the TR restorers today. Looks like an Austin Healey 3000 behind to me?

The Mk.2 was known as the getaway car of choice by all the bank robbers when it was built because it was pretty quick and had good handling with the ability to carry everyone. And, to further prove this point, it was used I think in the Sweeney!
