Site Subscriber’s Chrismas Posted May 25, 2022 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Missed this post first time round, so only just catching up. Glad you're saving another. I note that on 'How Many Left' there are only 174 on the road now, with a similar number on a SORN. That's down about 20% on the previous Quarter. I love the rarity of these cars. Hopefully spares will continue to be available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only seen a handful with the lock switch and unfortunately the wiring is not present unless it has a switch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, I raided the parts I intended to fit on my coupe which are all Japanese made parts except for the hydraulic tensioner which is SKF. This kit is a mix of Mexican and Chinese made parts and offered good value with a 3-year warranty. EDIT: the water pump will be Japanese made, can't trust anything else. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
