Curious to know the where-a-bouts of previous cars.........



HSX Chevette TAE 272S



Magnum Coupe JBP 778P (Copy of Will Sparrows')



Firenza JYC 836K (Castrol Snoot copy)


There are others, but it is most likely they have moved onto a better place!


Regards to all


Mick

I've got an overdrive box that I want to fit but need a prop.


Anyone out there got a prop that will fit an overdrive box to a magnum coupe.


I know I can get one shortened to fit but I really want to take the car off the road in a weeks time and spend the next week doing a few bits. Time plan to have one shortened was 2-3 weeks from reco-prop.

Hi all, been away from the club quite a while now, what wiv moving to Australia and all... and I do miss the old club and especially my old car!! So if its current owner still reads the forum, I'd love to get an update on what's happening with her.

Have been offered a chance to buy one of the Thruxton Firenzas and need to know how difficult spares are to source? The idea is to race the car in the Classic touring car club (as its race preped already).



Have been told the 2.3HPF engine is a nightmare to get parts for, i.e block and heads etc. if anyone can enlighten me on this, it'd be much appreciated.

Hi there,


Can anyone offer any advice to a weird problem I am having with my HPF. I bought the car last October, excellent condition - restored, but not taxed since 1996, so I guess it's not been on the road since then.
