Says Beta but is that Gamma and twin air amongst the bits?

On e-bay at present. Though it says Beta there seems to be an interesting assortment of different bits.

I thought those might be Beta Montecarlo rear side windows but even on that I'm not sure. I pegged the steering wheel and gearbox as possibly Gamma.

Are the side windows Beta Coupe? Any clues in the number plate on the top?

Not Beta Coupe Jai but actually more likely Gamma Coupe than Beta Montecarlo. With the steering wheel and gearbox it's probably a Gamma selection.

Gamma engine. Not sure about the reg plate as it seems Irish??. IMHO no intrinsic value in this pile unless you are after potentially (and I use that word with caution) undamaged Gamma camshafts.
Its not the winning but taking part! or is it taking apart?

Ah, it's half a Gamma engine! I thought it was a peculiar twin cylinder but couldn't really make sense of it.
