British Leyland door mirrors
Beta glove box lock, instead of the original boot lock
The front panel looks jacked up/rotated at the front
Dzus fasteners on the front panel have been messed about with
Either it's the wrong wiper arm or missing the covering trim above the fastening nut
Very nice otherwise. The re-trimmed seats, especially, and original carpet.
Did some cars have mesh on top of the rear panel (under the rear louvres)?
I've seen it on replicas.
Chris, that's weird. Had a look on iPad at the pics and each one that you raised a point on could not be enlarged from the Thumbnail - just a black rectangle with a ?. Spooky!Quote:

- but didnt somebody buy up the remaining chassis and manufacture some as continuity cars - getting closer to the magic 492? (I seem to remember reading somewhere)
Yes, the Jolly Club cars (35 off).Quote:

Now that must be worth a bit! Can't be worn out after 190 uses, can it/Quote:

They were fitted to all sorts of british cars at the time.

OK Chris thanks... personally I don't think they look out of place.Quote:

I picked up a pair of these a while ago https://www.europaspares.com/sports-...universal.html

but haven't got round to trying them on the car yet - still using the original supplied LB items
They have a look of the S1 Beta door mirror, often used as a 'mate' to the lone LH Stradale door mirror?:Quote:
