I have sadly decided to sell all the left over parts from my two coupes. Back in 1998 I purchased to coupes with lots of spares, no reg, neither going and both were sitting under trees! I have since restored one and have one left over which has pretty much all the bits to get it together. The car is currently stripped of everything including windows, engine, gearbox, diff, crossmember etc. I was planning to build it up to race car specs with no interior and A15, but alas I can not afford to go down that path. Here is a list of most of the parts I have sitting in my garage that I can think of: 3 A12 engines (have not been tested by me, so I have no idea if they go, one is in bits) 3 gearboxes (again not tested, but I know one doesn't have reverse) all four speed differential and tailshaft to suit clutches and flywheels manifolds radiators starter motors carburettors altenators distributors trim panels back seat front seats (one broken) dash and guages all wiring looms all lights, incl. tail, head, indicators etc seatbelts bare shell with doors, boot, bonnet and fenders etc etc The body of the car has had its share of shopping dents from the previous owner but has very little rust, so I should have used that shell to restore but I didn't and don't know why! The front fenders are rough one in particular as it has smacked a dirt bank and is bent out of shape no thanks to me. The front apron is also rough, from the previous owner. Bonnet and boot are fine. Doors are ok. All the mechanicals are a mystery to me because I chose one motor and gearbox (plus all the bolt on bits) and dropped it in my car and I have had no troubles at all. So I have had no need to test the other engines but I have removed the heads to check the bores for signs of its past life and they don't look to healthy (all three that is). One of the engines is in bits as I had a need to investigate the internals of an A12. So from all these mechanical parts you should be able to make 3 seperate engine/gearbox assemblies. I don't want to send this car and its bits to the tip as I have grown to love these little weapons and would hate to see it wasted like that. If you know anyone who wants a great project and has the money to restore it just reply to this letter. If anymore info is needed post a message. I am open to offers but would love someone just to take EVERYTHING off my hands as my garage is very cluttered. Cheers, Simon
