Re: Hello All...

Quite rare indeed...My father was a Sunbeam enthusiast owned a 1961 Sunbeam Alpine and later a Sunbeam Alpine GT (a 1967 if I remember). He could never locate a Tiger, even rare back in the day. Last weekend I (and MARILYN) spent a very enjoyable day with the Rolls/Bentley Owner's Club at a local ca...

They arn't uncommon, put up a wanted ad. If you are in the UK I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a set within 50 miles.
LOL...I did that and came up with air (nothing). I am also looking for a nice set.

As far as I knew...the servo was not meant to be serviced. I did it anyway. :lol: On my Type 1 someone had bypassed the Servo with a doorbell button because it did not work... http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tjZwMzFNuV4/T9clm2wXydI/AAAAAAAAcuY/oYWLFt-XTTA/s512/6-11-12%2520%25201.jpg After carefull...

Re: A few bits 1978 343

OK Rich.......I understand.

I am slowly gaining on my wanted bits list. Danny in Holland sent me a set of caps for my windscreen wiper arms but I still continue to look for some elusive bits...
1. A set of interior plastic footwell tubs
2. A spare tyre strap.

Re: Hello All...

Last weekend I attended one of our more famous local car shows. This show is in it's 27th year and normally (depending on the weather of course :roll: ) draws between 900 to 1,000 cars during the annual two day event. "Marilyn" was placed in a class with foreign cars (1970-1988) for the event which ...

Re: A few bits 1978 343

The message center must have had a "Brain Fart"

Anyway....they can always be posted to Rich Plaxton in Dublin or we could make arrangements next time he is up your way.
Rich has a few bits belonging to me which need to be posted i this direction anyway. :wink: :wink:

Re: Hello All...

The show yesterday was amazing, I encountered a completely different sort of people. Since it was sponsored by a nationally known auto Museum more knowledgeable people seemed to be in attendance. I did not hear the "Snowmobile Transmission" comment once. :D :D http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo18...
