Dead thread resurrected

Can't find its number. Is it a forum car? -Ron?

Asking £32,500.

Do any of our (older) UK members recall the problems we had with American Muscle Cars of the ‘70s with sequential indicators. Under Construction & Use regs. it was impossible to obtain an MOT if your car had these fitted. One had to rewire the indicators so that there was only one distinct “flash” a...

I look forward to hearing what their best price is

I might be wrong Pod, but I read the advert as the car having two owners after BMW GB. Yes, that’s correct Superman! I note that according to the auction results, you can “ buy for £24,150” - so it would appear that it failed to sell. IMO a bit of a bargain, considering #436 is up for £40k! Or was ...

Sold for £12,389.

A couple of manuals there. I thought lot #68 looked to be the best of a poor bunch. Has lot #75 got a buffalo interior? So #68 made £5,200 according to the other thread on this auction. IMO they all made much more than they are worth. Just goes to show the state of the market for our cars which are...

I guess everybody has to start somewhere...... If you do a little digging, you can find a registered address. The company was incorporated on 8th August 2019. One director, a Giles Richell. There are a few "old projects" on the website. So he has come up with the idea of making his hobby pay for its...

Let us know how you got on?

I have an original that I could send to them. If any more interest we might be able to do a bulk order.

Ron.

Sounds like a good idea. I had a look at their website. Quite expensive products, but a group buy should offer significant savings!

Having read this thread a couple of times, it appears to me that you may have some wires which have overheated and melted together.

Sorry, I posted in haste
I agree that you should use washers and thread locking compound

One for "Ron the detective" to find out about

IIRC the plate they show as a shim in regard to the flywheel, is actually a plate with tabs on it that are bent against the bolt heads that hold the flywheel to the crank so they can't get loose.

That plate with the locking tabs is why you don't need/use lock washers.

+1 on that

I would be careful if you tow with that. Take it easy!

Agreed, I've seen them pull/tear from the spare tire wheel well.

I think that the loop is more of a tie-down for transportation than for towing

Estimate looks to be on the low side to me. Ex BMW GB who owned it for 29 years!

These were state of the art tires when they were introduced. that they required a specialty rim profile is what killed them, not because they were bad tire.
So in closing, dont hate on something just because you dont like it.

+1 on that!

I may have a spare E12 motor. Can you send me a photo of your broken one?

Any pictures to show what you mean?

Welcome to The Forum!

So the engine doesn't cut out? Does the transmission go through all the gears smoothly? Does the kick-down work? Does the S/E/1-2-3 switch work and does it return to the central setting when you turn off and re-start the engine?

Not many posts on this thread any more. I wonder if its due to the increasing scarcity of our cars - or the general lack of activity on this board these days....

An interesting - looking car! Good paint as far as I can see. Shame about the additional side lights.

I do wonder about the mileage though. Only 2,500 miles in 18 years?

I'm surprised it didn't make more! Cheap in my opinion. I made the gross sale price £31,050 including buyer's premium.
