urq $$

[Jim Haseltine]

My early Ur-q (January 81) has a few body pieces which were fitted on Coupes
and lends me to believe the story that the first Ur-q bodies were coverted
development coupe shells.
The car has brackets at the back of the sills which are identical to those
for the beam axle on my Cgt and also has the same metal clips welded to the
front right chassis leg as the Cgt - used on the Cgt for the alternator &
starter cables.
