Guess I need to visit the NK section of the faq more often. Great picture reminds me of the Nurburgring open track days with car loaded with passengers.

I think there's a quite a few pre-production differences on that show car (inner wings, front panel, bonnet and boot hinges, heater box, connection from the carb to the air box, carb, washer bottle, and what's the weird pole in front of the fuel filler - aerial?...) - I'll send Guido this way to confirm as he has a 1500 (and more NKs than he cares to remember). Great photos

Those posts look like some kind of shock to slow the hood when lowering, they are on both sides.

And the production bonnet stays that connect to good old cheap springs are missing - surely a case of what the engineers wanted and what the accountants let them have. Brilliant pre-production pics.

 

Here's a production 1500 engine bay. I think the only difference from your 64 1800 Steve are the air box/filter/cam cover, the inexplicable metal inlet tube that draws air from the centre of the nose and interesting crank case breather that vents through a little filter apparatus on the top of the dip stick to the back of the 90 degree hose ontop of the carb (not shown in this pic - but you can see it in the show car and line drawings). Also the washer bottle is on the drivers inner wing instead of the bulkhead.

 

Anymore for anymore?

On the motor drawing, the chain guide isn't visible and the tensionner looks like a wheel instead of the classic lever. ?
