Very nice :D , don't forget the waxoil to ensure it stays in good condition. Dont ruin it by using it on the road. What's the point of owning a nice car if you don't get any pleasure out of it by using it! It's not all about how much financial return you get when you sell it, not to real classic ca...

My guess is he probably had a couple available, the red one being a split screen (and ex-Post Office??) would have more appeal, so probably has now sold privately - or he was made an offer after someone saw it on eBay, that he couldn't refuse. So he has substituted the blue one......... ..............

Thanks, I was thinking the same about yours, is that Clarendon grey? I think the outer skin / framework pressing underneath are the same on 1000's, they just swapped to a telescopic support on the opposite side of the boot and changed the sealing rubber to one that was stuck around the edge of the ...

This van is doing the rounds....

Rather appropriate - being it's in Post Office red!

Thanks for that, I've saved them in 'my favourites', though hopefully I won't be needing them too soon....time will tell...... As an aside one of my original boots doesn't seem to be split, though I shall examine it more closely later, as there was a leak on both sides, these came with the replacem...

Hi, There seem to be lots of arguments for and against, plus allot on here seem to think that as long as you are only doing gentle local runs you don't need anything........ But who wants to be limited to gentle local runs!! 8) I'd say use it as is until your engine needs work anyway, then invest i...

Here is the underside of the boot lid for you - excuse wax-oil runs and obvious black sealer, I was being over protective as this is my repaired (ex-spare) boot lid and this is all normally out of sight. My slightly rustier original awaits its turn........ Best wishes, Mike. [frame] http://mmoc.org...

Hi, I've just replaced mine (along with my track rod ends) and I notice that the new ones seem to be of considerably softer (thinner?) rubber than the last ones I bought (I still have an unused good one to compare the latest ones against - it seems thicker / less pliable / tougher), anyway I've fit...

Hi Pete,
I've attached a photo of the outside for you, I don't have an inside shot at present but I can soon take one if no one else has one for you. I'll check back tomorrow.
Best wishes,

Hi and welcome, History is interesting. I myself have a dual personality car, which I have sympathetically modified, as I use it as my every day car. 1275 midget engine, 5 speed box, vented discs etc. but all of which could be unbolted and reversed. I have opted to keep the standard wheels and seat...

Not so fast! They are NOT sealed beam, they are BPF (British pre-Focus) units. Sealed beam units are all glass and cannot be dismantled. BPF units were used throughout the fifties and sixties on almost everything and were then replaced by sealed beams in the late sixties. They are very similar and ...
