Hello you all,
Many thanks to those of you who pointed me to Bob Mendelsohn or informed him.
Bob contacted me and now we know a lot more of the USA history of TC8204. Even up to the owner before Bob got hold of it. It's a Californian TC. So much is almost certain. Nowadays, all US cars we see advertised here, are "Californian". Back in 1995 things were much more honest in that respect. Bob got his TC from a TC-shop in San Jose. And the previous owner of TC8204 also lived in California. So, it is likely to be a true Californian car.
The good state of the chassis sure looks like that.
Ok, Please check my next question in this group. It's about the first years of TC8204, most likely British years, being a "home" version.
Cheers!
Bart Sanders
