Hi Jarrad, just to clear up one point...after the period of Rover-Scott Bonnar production, as you have said, it morphed into the Rover 45; available in Rover red and
also Rover green. (in fact I have a catcher in Rover green, as a spare) It is a solid bright green, similar to the Rover-Scott Bonnar colour on the machine in your pic.
Re: your question....I am led to believe that during the period of the company change over...Scott Bonnar was still building the chassis...so that machine would be as good as any hammertone green late model Scotty.
You could go either way...swap the good bits over to yours....or give this one a clean up/ cosmetic restore and sell it....or restore it as an original Scotty in the original colours as a 'keeper'
