Surely a 140 FHC. The chassis number confirms this

Interesting/worrying will investigate further, Will double check engine numbers/chassis numbers. Also have original supplying dealers letter confirming sale of vehicle in '57 and export docs from when it was exported to the USA. The body is definately a 150 though. Have photos of car before full chassis of restoration with photo record 10 years ago. Engine was rebuilt, gearbox & diff inspected checked for tolerance etc.
