Special early 1964 features on 1965 cars

[pss]

Txs Milou.
Most of us have the same fuel door lock release as you show. some might have one of the following systems as heritage of 1964.
The first one I have never seen in real life, but only in the owners manual Jan 1965. The second one shows a mechanism with which the cable moves thru the pillar into the compartment to a aluminum pull-ring under the dash.

Please note that 1666 has painted black under the engine grill, the small knob decklid release, doesn't have to my knowledge the split wooden dashboard.

It does however have a small knob for the fuel flap release, do others have similar knob?

Milou, #301111 has the small knob for the fuel flap release.

Milou, which color does 1666 have. The pics shown are of 2 different cars so it seems. Pls also check the other missing info.
Cheers, J

1666 has allen bolts for the hinges, whereas other cars have the hexagon. I think I have seen the hexagon also for much later cars. Who knows about that?
Could the allen bolts have been added on 1666 in a restoration?

On 301111 these are original paint and all.

You folks are doing good work here. Thanks.

Was the front side window de-mister venting channel only on the prototype(s)?

1666 is champagne yellow. I will check the car and update the chart as best I can! I believe the bolts on the door hinges and the paint to be original.

Jens,
this is completely new to me. Do you have a picture?
