I figured it was either the real deal or would at least supply the necessary bit to make up a replica. Have you a photo of the one you sold, Carlo?

PS Thanks for the numberplates. Tess got back with them last night. That'll save me £140 for a set of new ACE plates!

No worries about the plates (and thanks for the bottle :D ), just a shame that i cut them up but i'm sure that you can salvage the important bits and get some new backplates made to suit :wink: (thats what i had planned to do!)

As for a picture of the one i sold, i can't find one to hand, but i will dig out another lowlight filler i have and take some pictures for you! :wink:

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu66er! It is about 20% too large to be a genuine MM one. It will still fit but the cap is a much bigger dome and about 1cm wider than a later cap.
Poo!


BMC part number 21G 2015, if anyone has any parts manuals. Maybe Lotus Elan Srs1?
