NOW SOLDMotoLita wood rim steering wheel & hub & horn push

I have a 14" MotoLita wood rim wheel for sale, including mounting hub & horn push; located near Coventry, £75. This was on my car when I bought it but it's not to my taste so I've swapped for something else. It is in good useable condition; I have driven the car for two years with no proble...

NOW SOLD 4 standard wheels & hubcaps

I have 4 standard wheels and hubcaps for sale: located near Coventry, £50 for the set. These were no my car when I bought it, but I have now swapped to different size. The wheels have tyres on, of which I would say one is useable (date code is 2021) - the others are dated 2006 so I would not advise ...

Re: Period rear damper kit.

Hi Phil, this looks an interesting kit: the damper bodies are reasonably vertical so looks like it doesn't have compromise of some conversions. I may well be interested. It doesn't look like there is much free length on the dampers for actual travel though - do you know what the available travel is,...

Re: dual circuit brakes

I got the Minor Magic kit last year and fitted it in my 63 convertible. Very happy with it, and with the peace of mind the dual circuit brings. Be aware the pedal needs modifying to allow more travel for the dual circuit to work properly but I don't notice that while driving. Would recommend it even...
