You have to name it Heinz (being both German sounding and looking like a baked bean!)

I actually nicknames my car 'The Bean' which is along the same lines

Hi Steve, the slate grey C went back to Germany - may be able to find out more if you are interested in bringing her back to blighty?

What a little work of art eh?.

The ethanol does nasty things to rubber fuel lines, fuel pumps, carb gaskets and the like.

I agree with Bruce on this - it's 95RON super unleaded for me

I love the car but do you think it's a bit on the expensive side?

A Sportwagen work of art and my pride and joy



Steve

Another work of art by Bruce and the team at Sportwagen. I think he may have been restoring my one at the same time! http://s1072.photobucket.com/albums/w378/Steve_Joslin/?action=view&current=Bean1.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w378/Steve_Joslin/Bean1.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/a...

Dave,

How did you get on with the re-upholstery contacts? I'm currently searching for a good company to carry out the re-trim on my '58 Coupe.

Did you mention that you had bought covers etc from autos international?

Steve

Hi Mike,

Thanks for posting a reply, I'm looking into a few chroming companies one in East Sussex and another who SportWagen use for their projects.

I'll let you know how I get on and will post pictures in the near future.

Regards

Steve Joslin

PS the gearbox is still holding up!

Hi All,

Can anyone suggest a really good reliable place to send parts from my '58 A Coupe to be re-chromed? The car currently has the original chrome which is starting to show its age (basically down to the brass in a lot of areas!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Steve

All,

I'm looking for a nice original hornbutton for my '58 356A coupe, feel free to contact me offline if you have or know of someone who has one.
