Thanks foxy,

I know you like your Wasso,s = the Rolls Royce of fuelcaps (quot from Graeme in New Zealand)
These are actually not that hard to find here in Denmark, as they are made by our nighbours in Sweden.
The problem is finding 2 without dents

Hi xvl24 & thanks,

the reason for my dedication to her, is my bad conscience

I am still haunted, by the fact, that I hung up on the guy, when he called & offered me the car in 1999
(still get a bad feeling, when I think about it now)

This could have been one of those threads "if I only "

Jens Christian



PS, my latest "nerdy" detail =

while attending Beaulieu, I had made arrangements to swap the Lucas mirror I found in 2011, as it was the earlier type (5 rivits)
Now the car has the correct later 7 rivit type.



Anyone know when the change was made ?

Hi Brian,

Thanks, and yes it was nice to meet you too, and see your stunning Hatch

I hade the bumpers rechromed last year, hence why they look better now.

Cant wait to see you start on with the Cilla Black WP.

Hi Ed,

thanks for the kind words, one can only try its best.

I have tried to get some Red MK II lenses, for a few people (also inhere)
But the guy here in DK, who bought the entire stock of the Lucas spareparts,
dont know where he put them.
The pile of spares are enormeus = its soo big that he keep it all in Jutland,
as rent is MUCH cheaper in that part of Denmark.

He told me he have both lenses, and complete lamp units.

I found mine on a autojumble, soon after I bought the car.

Been a busy couple of days


Saturday evening I went to "Cars & Cocktails"

everybody had to be dressed to match their car, and the band & DJ only played music that matched.

(scroll down to see pics)

Took my cars 3rd owner & lady friend, with me.

That was one fun evening.


Tuesday evening I went here =

Sad news

found this posted on another forum =


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-23175255

Its a shame

Strange that a place that looks SOO cool & Art Deco, will be demolished.

Bet they will regret that later .

Have never been there, but this place had significant impact on my life.

This was where my cars second owner saw JanSpeed,s Turbo conversion for the A series engine,
and put in a order for them to do it.
