Thanks to another of the great peeps on this site, rear quarters are on their way to Georgia where they will magically climb into a container bound for the UK. My bodywork professor will then fit them, along with two new rocker panels that I already have.
Neat coincidence, the professor's first means of personal transport was the same as mine, a RHD Isetta bubble car. More astonishingly, his first real car was one of the 54 RHD Parisienne rag tops just like ours!
Best of luck with it. I love your colour combination. Are you keeping it silver with red top? Is it red inside?
I support your shout out to a421cat. He has provided me with some much needed parts for my 62 Pontiac in recent years, but also helped me out with some 63 Pontiac parts many years ago before this site existed.
The body will be kept factory original satin silver metallic (DD). I chose the maroon top many years ago to compliment that. When I got the car it had a white top (and terrible white paint) but I think it was delivered new with a black top. Trim code is 263 and the VIN states Top 10 (which I beleive is black). Being a RHD UK supplied car it's difficult to decode everything with certainty. I haven't yet found a build sheet, so that probably went missing decades ago, plus I don't think GM Vintage Canada can get me one because it's such an oddball (1 of 54 in RHD).

Contact GM Vintage Canada, they may have something on your car, cant hurt to ask. Also, there is an Aussie who posts on ChevyTalk as Carl62, he has a lot of data on RHD production. I like your colour combo.
