The view over the bonnet is 100% the same…

Ha, Makes it easier for me to meet him- way easier from Germany. When we first met, before he left England, I drove on the yard to fetch the 2+2 shell, a bird let some poo drop on my bonnet, I got out of the car, he of course had seen the bird scene and said „Welcome to England“. Now… yes. All the b...

Righty right ! Molokko plus….

Hey, I think the design polarizes. I had people loving it, and hating it. As with many many kit cars, the problem is build quality and details. Yes and its the seventies, so don‘t expect too much there, but people tend to look with today‘s eyes, they‘re used to the build quality of normal german car...

Hey, I think I can say no. I must first confess I owned one of these for 32 years, so I think I am qualified, kind of. See, there were 2 Probe 15 afaik. One of them is still alive, in Switzerland. The second one was broken up to make molds, for a Kit Car named „Concept Cars Centaur MK1“. You can eas...

Its cheaper and tall europeans fit. An overdrive is a nice option.

Carsten

Oh yes Hahndorf…. Been there as well…

Hey,

We love the poteroos in the Adelaide zoo up in the hills. Definitely recommended…

Kind regards,

Hey,

That new logo looks like an Umbrella company logo - why not let us call it „the umbrella logo“.

Carsten

Hey,

Iirc you can set the float / end-play of the motor shaft there. Same arrangement on my Hillman Imp wiper motor…

Carsten

Hey,

I would want the rear seat cover parts…

Kind regards,

Carsten

Hey Klaus,

Which glue did you use ?

Carsten

Hi, Some final things, now that the new front screen was fitted: how do I fit the A pillar chrome ? There are some holes in the A pillar- not corresponding to the chrome parts. So I‘ll drill new ones. Were the chrome parts riveted ? And, how are they secured at their front inner edge- do they go und...

Hey, I see news about an upcoming recession, interest rates sunk a bit, and Gold is at all time high again. So maybe there are some people who had obviously lot of cash around and thought, shares not safe, gold too expensive (and maybe they already have a ton or two?), so lets have a look into bluec...

Hi,

In the alternator picture: front frame damage ?

Carsten

Hi,

Besides that, zhere are other Germans herearound….

Hi,

Yes but its a huge difference to not get 50thsd back instead of 200 thsd….

So, if you want a „cheap“ E Type Experience, get a proper 2+2 :-). But make sure it is a real good car, not a US Spec automatic twin carb..

Carsten

Hi, I think different. A 2+2 is great value for money. You pay say 60.000 for a good one, and get the like back in say 10 yrs. Job done. Same may apply with an OTS or Coupe. I agree with others that it will mostly not pay back when you do a full resto on them. I did, took 15+ yrs, and I did it all b...

Hi all, I found when cleaning them that they are all different. 1 is straight, pin for clip at the end of the arm, chromed steel. 1 has a bend at the end, pin for clip at the end of the arm, chromed steel. Both have many numbers printed inside. One has BR 546431, 610251, 618679, 677173 AUS 138607 GE...

No one an idea ?
