I have one for the fourteen and it's a very good fit and excellent quality.

Hi Tim,

If the weather plays ball I should be there, and just you all keep an eye open for the boys in blue, snap, snap, nudge, nudge, no what I mean. :wink: :wink:

Hi Richard,

Driving from the other side is no real problem, I've had my fourteen for getting on for 12 years now and I have never had any problems. A converted car will always be worth a lot less and frankly I can't see any benfit at all in doing the conversion. Keep it LHD and enjoy it. :thumbup:

Hi Tom, The blower motor mounts on a special bracket off the front of the engine close to the fire wall, a lot of early cars did'nt have this fitted as standard. The blower is operated off the heater lever in the centre tunnel. This switch, which is part of the lever, to be honest it's not a switch ...

Middlefour, assume it sounds good, any noticeable performance difference ? Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, it does sound good and I think the car runs a lot better with it on. It's a 35 year old engine so I don't give it a hard time but it does run very well and I'm more than happy...

Can't agree with that. I've had one on my fourteen for at least 8 years with no problems at all.

Roger had either imported the car from the US or purchased it from an importer the year previous. He had s...

I took literally yards of spare wires out of my old Targa. Alarm systems, radios and accesories. Scotch lok connectors, twisted and taped wires the works. I just settled down with a soldering iron, some black heat shrink sleeve, new crimp connectors and a proper ratchet crimp tool and made the whol...
