I was sent a screenshot of the online catalogue showing the result last night.
I’m sure we’ve been here before, last time around it was e type jags and Aston DB 2/4s….

I have a spare BT6 Gear Lever, bought at Hershey some years ago.
It is complete with its base and moves freely.
It also has a Heater Knob (not correct for C which has a lever).
I bought it for the lock which is now on my car.

Interesting thread. And one which echoes my findings. I’ve sold a good few bits on eBay and made some good money, including selling cars. More recently though, I’ve had greater success through forums (as a previous post mentioned). The last time I sold a car on eBay, I was inundated with the most st...

Hi Simon, The part number is 695 347 501 00. Here's a photo: PXL_20221025_091818045.jpg Stoddard sells the Boge replacement, but states the turning circle is reduced. I've also read on the registry that the performance isn't as good as the Koni one, but would I even know the difference :?: I think ...

The “VW to 356 Parts Interchangeability” used to state that the steering damper from a split camper would fit a 356.
I don’t think there was a distinction made between early or late cars.
Does your old one have a part number that cross references?

I woke up this morning.
It was 3:56.

Which moors Simon ?

Don’t worry James, not the ones near you…
A compromise had to be made taking into account my customer base and two sets of ageing parents.

‘Ey up Rob. We still need that blast out we talked about a couple of years back! My car is currently trapped by others, has been for a while now but a new house on t’moors will see her out very soon! A roof and a coat of floor paint to the new garage is happening next week. I charged the battery up,...

What you need Sir, is an extract from the AFN Archive. A Small Fee will usually provide all the numbers (including original registration) as well as original owners details and major changes such as Engine or Gearbox. I’m not sure who does this now, it was Mike Smith who did mine years ago, but pres...

I remember that as a kid.
Always loved it, it looked just right and still does today!

Glad it (appears to be) registered as a 1978 car rather than many today that somehow manage to use the identity of a much, much earlier car.

I had a Karmann Beetle from 1995 to 2001. In that time I had to rebuild the engine. As a matter of course it received a set of new Spark Plugs from German & Swedish in Leeds. The car ran ok for a while, but slowly developed a horrible rough tickover. I initially assumed the worst, Burnt Valves. ...

The “Speedster” did £42,211.
That’s a hell of a lot of money for not a lot of car.

Well goodness me! Thank you for your reply and the information. There has been some more photographs added, these are either poorly taken or poor on purpose. It’s certainly now possible to see the door posts are pretty much none existent! With regards to the missing chassis number and the “Scrapped ...

There’s a rather strange looking contraption currently offered for sale on eBay. Listed as a Speedster, there are certainly elements of a genuine 356 evident. The substructure looks genuine, the external panels (except the doors) look like altered Coupé items. Strangely, it appears to have the Chass...

Well Spotted!
And yes, if it’s within estimate then it’s a jolly good buy, and far better than one in LHD.
There are a few things not right, earlier seats for example.
I’ll be watching to see what it makes!!!
