Thanks for the offer, but I'm after a 1a version in black.

Hi Jonathan.

I think i have the wheel nut covers. Ill check.

As you know, i have the brand new valances. If you want to try to get them copied you are welcome to borrow them?

Hi Chrys

Thats very kind of you to offer. I have managed to source various bits from Paul Sims including a complete front valance excluding the lip spoiler, although he says 'it needs a bit of work'. Before I fit it on I think ask my uncle how much it would cost to make the tooling for it, just out if interest.

Paul also has a pretty decent bumper bar, a number plate support strip and a pair of side spats in average condition.

I'll update the original post but will have be patient for a steering wheel and radio.

As you've probably guessed, I'm having a go at getting the new one ba k on the road but sourcing 1a specific parts is no mean feat, and just proves how much rarer they are.

I went to see Paul Sims earlier this week. It was great to meet him for the first time - top bloke. He has a great collection of parts. He had some cracking bumper bars there!

It certainly is proving harder to get MK1a spares now. There have been a few MK1a steering wheels on ebay over the last few months so one will turn up soon enough.

Good luck with the search. If i see anything, i will let you know :-)

Cheers

Chrys
