Sidemount Well


I have removed my passenger side sidemount well from Carrie as I am mounting the spare on the boot so it is now surplus to requirements. I believe it was original equipment and as such fits the Carisma wing but I suspect will fit some of the American kits. Old picture shows it with ugly rubber trim but this is not necessary.

Anyone interested?

Set of 14" ford wheels with Mangels basket wires


Mick Bates, the new owner of Lady Anne has asked me to publicise his wheels that he is replacing with knock-on wires (see photo). Anyone interested should email Mick at mickay@blueyonder.co.uk

Spare spinner for sale with SS logo - unused



I've just had a spinner bracket made up to mount my spare on the boot of my Carisma Century and due to a misunderstanding the thread is wrong which means I now have a brand new spare spinner with the SS logo surplus to requirements similar to the one in the pic. I've yet to collect it from the engineers but if my records are correct it is 42mm 8tpi with a R/H thread. It is in perfect condition and will really set off the spare for any Carisma owners out there who can make use of it. I'm looking for about £20.

Interesting ad on American eBay


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jaguar-SS-100-Kit-car-Roadster-/170536098012?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27b4be58dc#ht_500wt_1182

The "Duke" is rather a nice kit with lovely wing lines although is often over Americanised IMHO. The grille is somewhat different to the usual SS replicas though. However this eBay ad is for an unbuilt kit and potential buyers can make of it what they will but there are scant details in the ad so I suggest getting a full inventory of the parts eg it doesn't actually say that there is a chassis!
I have shown a pic of a finished one as a taster:
