Re: Hi Folks

On the subject of headlining I found an excellent material from EUFabrics on eBay. The light grey is a only a touch off the original colour and it's perforated like the material used on the first handful of 45s (which I appreciate isn't correct for most peoples cars) it's the closest I've found to t...

Re: Cabriolet manual hood struts (DSR10002)

I got hold of X-Part/Motaclan last week but unfortunately they haven't got any. I've spotted the lone one on eBay which I will probably go for, the other (unfortunately) are from that place in Turkey. I've encountered a lot of issues with actually getting parts here from there, no fault of theirs! I...

Cabriolet manual hood struts (DSR10002)

Hello all!

Curious if anyone can comment on how much of a difference the struts make if they've failed.

I've got a feeling the struts in mine are shot as the roof is bloody difficult to move up and down despite all the joints feeling nice and free.

Re: SIMPLY BRITISH CLASSICS - September 24th 2023

I think I'll probably be at this one. Not sure if it'll be in my F or my Cabriolet though, I've settled that trying to make it Milton Keynes in that car would be a dangerous game.

Re: Finally joined!

Much appreciated! Hopefully it all goes well. It's such a shame a car that seemed to be in pristine condition only a few years ago is so poor now. I've been digging into it today and list is getting very very long.

Re: Finally joined!

I had look in the archive and it's the cover of Oct-Dec 2017. Unfortunately the condition now does not reflect the condition then, inside or out.... But Pinkie is roadworthy, though I think making the trek to Milton Keynes would be brave unless I can get some free time to sort a few things. If I hav...

Finally joined!

Finally got around to joining. I honestly thought I had done some years back but got mixed up with one of the other Austin/Rover/MG clubs! I've had a fairly endless list of 45s at this point so I'm not going to get into listing them all. The main point of discussion on here for me is the 200 Cabriol...
