Re: Contact from New Zealand

Pah looks like the deal on my coupe fell through! He keeps changing his mind :-? I sort of guessed it might happen tho!!!
He's had it for 15 years and never fixed anything on it, but apparently he will, one day! Never heard that before!

Re: Contact from New Zealand

Sounds like a 1.8 DL Coupe you've got there. You can count the number of known survivors on one or two fingers! 1.8 DL saloons are even rarer, don't know of any survivors :thumbdown: Hi Josh Yeah I'm pretty sure its a DL in Damask with a blue'ish! interior, crazy colour combo :o When I've dug it ou...

Re: Contact from New Zealand

Hi Bryan There's not a lot of interior stuff there, the cars left have fairly rough interiors, so Im guessing no, but he does have some nice Aussie bits there, I'm thinking your car has pretty much everything to complete it. The coupe I bought has a dark blue, VERY basic interior and its an english ...

Re: Entirely my own fault.

Hi Kilroy
Yeah I may well have steered the gearbox fella in your direction ;) He's got a mk1 wagon, I'm kind of jelous.
Get him to throw on a couple of pics.
I've got a mk2 dash too, but I bet yours will be more complete for Darrens mate.
Hope your better soon.

Re: If you had to explain..

My uncle Tony would never buy any car that wasn't British, he had a brand new Princess in 77, lots of things went wrong with it. He had it for 15 years, and after he fixed the build errors (door handles not bolted on, missing washers, loose wires etc) it was a great car. When I bought my first car i...
