            2301 is a Mk2 hybrid until they turn up there is no way of knowing which Mk2 cars are hybrids. The only Mk1 LWB is Andrew Priest's old car the Purple Peril that he took back to Paul Moorhouse and had the chassis lengthened and new panels made. 2-151 was the first Mk2 kit then both marks shared the number sequence with either the Mark 1 or 2 prefix up to 1-285 then 2-286 on are Mk2's
