Great to hear that you are doing a proper job with the reinforcements and the trailing arms. Look forward to seeing and reading about the progress with this.

Guy

Are you doing all the reinforcements and trailing arms of the genuine ?

I'll take the 215/60s as well. !!!

These are definitely what I will fit to mine when it's back on the road.

My wife is out at a charity night, perfect opportunity to look through the files. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7903/40365570293_714a235ab7_c.jpg Every MOT back to 1981 :) https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7809/47278162832_cb4d431fd2_c.jpg Tom, always good to have all the paperwork ( I also have MOTs...

Hi Guy SD and CS are the old Ayrshire registrations. My73 RS was OSD xxxx The first car I ever bought with my own hard earned cash was an Astra GTE reg. Number TCS 7Y. What a great car. The old box shape was good on the eye too. Wish I still had that motor. I take it the 74 car was not a Carrera ? ...

It’s great that it has come ‘home’. Glen Henderson in Ayr supplied many very rare pre-impact bumper cars including the only 73 RS ever registered in Scotland. I wonder if your’s was the only 2.7 MFI Carrera ever registered in Scotland Tom? There could have been one in 74. I wrote and called at Glen...

I did some work with Ryan on the book although he only lists the total production numbers not LHD and RHD totals.

Thanks for confirming. Do you know whether David still owns the one I remember?

Not absolutely certain but I think he does.

This is 'the other' silver 1975 coupe, not the Taylor & Crawley one. I haven't seen it in the flesh but I believe the current owner is quite meticulous and it certainly looks good in the photos. There is as usual though a bit of poetic licence with the production numbers. There were a total of 6...

If you earn over 100k your personal allowance is withdrawn at £1 for every £2 over which leads to an additional tax liability not collected through PAYE.

Effectively means you pay 62% tax between 100K and about 124K

Andrew,

When the door is closed they sit on top of the window frame. They were later replaced by a 'velvet' door seal which ran all along the top and down the inside of the windscreen pillar.

It exits through the large roundish aperture to the rear of where the bonnet hinge fixes to the inner wing. When I fitted mine I passed some gardening type metal wire from the top and fished it out of the aperture in the inner wing. I then attached the wiring to this and pulled it back through. It t...

Jon, date stamp is on the hub around the outside of the splines. Should be year (3,4 or 5) followed by week number.

Jon's '76 C3 is fitted with a later interior and the steering wheel has also obviously been changed.

As you say Andy the original wheel was discontinued in early 1975.
