Thanks for your reply, looks like I will be taking that route as I am unable to find any information on M&Cs

Hi all after some advice please I need to replace my engine frames on my series 2 2+2 I know there are good and bad frames available and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations, I know the ones from e type fabs are good and I have seen some at M&C wilkinson ltd which look a good price but am ...

Thanks Geoff
It's another option, I will have a look
Thanks Scott

Hi Steve
My plans are also to replace the frames, so engine out etc anyway
so it will be a full paint ( I intend to go the whole 9 yards which is why it's such a big decision for me)
Scott

I plan to keep it for at least a couple of years after completion and I bought it as a project but still undecided, the other colour I like is the metallic grey with red leather but unsure if they even done a series 2 2+2 in that combo

Hi Steve Have edited my signature I suppose my question is if I stick with the bonnet and change the colour would it devalue the car or is it worth me finding the correct bonnet and painting back to original colour I want to enjoy the car for a while but don't want to do all the work and then find o...

Hi all I have a series 2 2+2 So it turns out I have the wrong bonnet on my car, which I prefer (series 1.5 ) and I already knew the engine had been changed ( so not matching numbers car but still 4.2 with documentation of purchase and change ) it also was repainted in the wrong colour :doh: , please...

Hi Geoff

Thanks Scott

Thanks everyone looks like I might need a bonnet

Hi James
Chassis number is 1r40924
Thanks Scott

Thanks all for your replys some came through as I was typing my reply
I do prefer the bonnet that's fitted but am just a little unsure what to do as I want the car to look as original

Thanks for your reply ( sort of ) I have not fully confirmed the year but the rear lights are below the bumper, I was wondering/ hoping that there was a possibility that some had the earlier bonnet fitted by the factory to use up old stock

Hi all can you help me please, do I have the wrong bonnet fitted to my car , it's a 1969 us 2+2 series 2 thanks Scott

Hi is there a section where I can find dimensions of the engine frames ( preferably on the vehicle) as I have noticed one of my engine frames need replacing and I wanted to check if the other side is ok , my car is a series 2 2+2 thank you Scott
