Re: A series spares derby

Hi, sorry to say, like you I ordered a cover for a convertible in April, which didn't arrive. Initially I was assured it was a fault with the courier, eventually to be told there was a delay with the supplier and they didn't actually have a cover available to send out.

VIN number query

Can anyone advise me as to whether a VIN number for a 1969 2-door saloon (now a convertible) is genuine. I understand the MA2S but then have seven digits starting 512 but understood the production run didn't number that high, and I'm confused.

Pickup rear spring, front mounting issue.

Evening all
I have recently acquired a pick up and discovered that a rear leaf spring front mounting pin is waggling about in its transverse tube chassis mounting. Is there a recommended cure for this or just weld it up in situ ?

Anybody got any tales to tell of how they fixed theirs ?

1957 Pickup

Please could someone tell me if a 1957 pickup has a heater fitted as standard? Have assumed that 1957-64 pickups are all the same, but then began to have second thoughts! Any info would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
