I haven't seen an extra gauge panel for sale seperately for a long, long time, maybe you need to buy a whole car to get one

Leighton has econ too...

And I'd imagine front end damage, seeing as it has the wrong bumper and grill

I bought one about 3 months ago - not sure how I came across it now, guy on ebay selling a load of bits and happened to mention he had a panel... looks like a nice car that one in Leighton Buzzard, theres a fair chance the front impact could be confined to bumper and grille alone

Tom beat me to this "spotted thread"

I've asked about the one in Leighton last night, because the descriptions a bit vague trying to arrange a viewing, i'm still waiting for reply though. I'll keep you all posted. I'll be after this one if all seems to be in place. This should have PAS am i right? Steve will know what i'm on about!

Yeah it'll have PAS simo... reckon you'll break it for spares or use it as is?

I'm sure the guy (Kevin) will reply, he answered my (declined

) request for the extra gauge panel fairly quickly.

Just in case anyone's interested in the saloon in Rostock - don't bother unless you're after parts. A friend went to look at it - the car's very rusty (jacking points, windscreen surround, wheel arches, front & rear valance) and the engine & gearbox are oily.

Ah, I'd spotted the Leighton Buzzard one, if it ended up not getting any bids I was gonna take it, purely to save it from getting crushed and those bits lost. But if someone is definitely gonna take it, go for it! Being localish I will be there should everyone drop out, don't allow it to end with no bids and the person scrap it rather than pay more Ebay fees!

If i got it, I would probably use it as it was if its in good enough condition.

Only got a reply off seller yesterday, so viewing wasn’t possible. So I’m waiting on extra close ups of the insides and around the car I asked for. I’m hoping the pictures show up at least a good hour before the auction ends. Front impact confirmed.
