Cataphoteric paint. Perfect, thin coat, you do not have to cover any splines, threads as it's a very thin layer of paint. Looks very good.

The 3rd photo is from a '62 flat floor, as you can see, it's the same arrangement as on my '63 car.

Would these help?

It's relatively original, beside obvious additions.

I received an e-mail from Judith Lonsdale the other day, confirming that David passed away in July '23. She wrote me that David had a business associate, George Todd, who very kindly dealt with his workshop and any remaining business outstanding. I contacted George, he agreed to post his mail addres...

Once you assemble it with the radio panel, make sure the central instrument console tilts freely so that you can reach the fuses.

Yes, SNG has them. ( or had them a while back)

He did my Frogeye ones in '22. We also did a project together on S1 automatic linkage under the carbs, as I had a good sample.


I wonder if anyone took over David's workshop.

Many thanks for all the hints, I will pass them on.

I need a good lead, as it's for an 1950 XK120 OTS for a fellow here in Poland, who has the car and is restoring it..

Oh, that is terrible news - he was not only a perfectionist, he was also such a good and kind man! I visited him once, he showed me around the workshop, he lived in a beautiful place, an old church rectory.. Tadek Sadly David Lonsdale has actually passed away. A lovely man and a wonderful restorer o...

Unfortunately it seems that David Lonsdale has definitely retired.

My experience with Chesman motorsport in Coventry was good. It was couple of years back though.
I have never sent them crankshafts, only heads.

Does anyone know where to find this mirror?

I still do not understand your questions (could be because of my lousy English), but I took a wild guess what you needed. As you can see the information is there, it's just a matter of looking for it. So second answer I get, not answering my questions, but telling me how to ask the questions! Amazin...

Have you seen the Door Fitting Guide in viewtopic.php?f=16&t=700?

I am so sorry - this is what happens when you go on vacation without a laptop... Anyway, the sump is a mk2 sump (I beleive) it's wider in the front and back. What's curious is that the exhaust system is made to fit around the sump. On top, it really nicely bent and routed around. If the car is still...

I saw a S1 4.2 in a friendly workshop the other day with what appears to be a Mk 2 engine - the sump front and rear are wider.

Does the engine fit right through or does it require modifications? It definitely has a non standard exhaust arrangement...

Would anyone know what's the PN for this screw?
I cannot find it in the Parts Catalogue..
