the UC has the side intrusion bar as opposed to the LH (door obviously)

If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesn't that make honda motorsport Homo?

Almost right Hazzard. The HZ Kingswood and Premier sedans got the HJ-HX Statesman bootlid. Prior to that they had the HQ lid.

Thanks Paul.
I thought the Lettuce alone one is HJ - X, and the blue one a HQ pre mid '73???
i had a look on my fairly original 3/74 HQ, it is in the same style as your blue one.

The only reason i say this is beacuse my HZ ones are like your lettuce
