I apologize, I wanted to correct my writing mistake in the upper message, the SPA manifold has an angle of 90 degrees and not 45 as I wrote by mistake.

The best decision you will make in a long while for your coupe ride and handling

Hi,
If I hadn't recently found a broom yellow Plus, I'd have been very interested in your car. If I were you, I would get that hot starting problem sorted as it will put a lot of people off. Your car is a great colour and also has a factory sunroof which is super rare on a Plus. Good luck with the sale.

Yes FLPete this is most certainly a valid car club!

Many insurance companies take this into account these days.

Quote for this year from ClassicLine is £169, just £13 more than last year, even though I've managed to gain 3 points on my licence. Hagerty has come in at £282. I'll be contacting Lancaster Insurance for a quote too. Yet to see if CL will agree to a rise in agreed value now I've had the bumpers and bonnet resprayed, apart from the roof not being quite perfect they were the only parts of the bodywork letting the car down.

In the end, given they're not that much more than Bilsteins, I've purchased a pair of adjustable OSRAV shocks from Zagato Lancia.

Looking forward to it. Plan A is to head down on the Saturday afternoon (with Lez following with the caravan), make use of the free campsite and head home on Monday. No excuse not to join in the display lap this year!

Thanks for the answer, I did not notice it until now.

I was actually thinking to go for coilovers as ideally I might want it a tiny bit lowered, probably 30mm max at the rear, the front on mine is low enough, but it might be due to very old suspensions.

I'm not looking for proper racing stuff, but something that makes it better around the country lanes but would still keep a good comfort on the motorway. I will give a look to the osrav and associated springs

I've paid now :-)

That's a shame Jamjam12, you've put in a lot of effort Occasionally this sad conclusion is inevitable but hopefully you will indirectly contribute to saving other coupés.

That's interesting jimboy. What make are the standard shock absorbers?

Just reading the reports and feedback with envious eyes!

Well done everyone who made it- what an inspiration it is reading your endeavours.

This is on the list to be done- and one day my stars will align and I will be free the correct time.

Well done all!

Lol,

I hear that Paul- I have tried to keep my stock for most of its ownership.

A near escape Mark S with the brakes.

And yes Mr Flea is a clever chap- I would not be without that modification now if I ever got another one.

After a small service-I checked the coop over today in readiness for some washing, cleaning, polishing and some driving tomorow as the orange thing in the sun is out. Yikes- almost total flat front right, and low rear left. I swear they looked fine when it poured with rain last weekend and stopped me taking her out.

Cue tyre pressures pump up and checked all around, battery charger back on - and ready for a few hours with her tomorrow.

They know how to keep you on your toes!

And a reminder- I need to re-new my membership-will do that this coming week!

Hope all are well,

MM
