Ferrari 550 and DC2 Integra Type-Rs have the same steering wheel.






Also the RS200 had Sierra doors, but I can't be arsed to find pictures, sorry.

They don't look the same to me, similar but not the same wheel.

i think he means the RS200 has Sierra rear lights

Oops forgot he mentioned 2 things, I was referring to the steering wheels

It is essentially the same Momo wheel, it has a different logo in the centre and the leather is stitched differently. That's kind of splitting hairs though.

Jeans from George at Asda as essentially the same as jeans from Levi's, just stitched differently with a different logo

Oh give over

Apart from the leather around the outside and the logo in the middle, its the same wheel, both made by Momo.

Hardly any different from many of the adjusted light clusters in this thread. A bit different to comparing jeans made by different people with different materials.

Supposedly these 2 share indidcators, unless you have clear lenses on the cerb in which case they are reversing light lenses from a defender.

And I think the wing mirrors are from a corrado

You sure about that? What about the wingmirror-mounted door latch releases?

Rolls Royce use a lot of Citroën suspension, that's why they are soooo comfy

They are from the Corrado, I assume they just cut a hole for the button. Same mirrors also seen on the Bristol Blenheim Speedster.

Not since the Silver Shadow they don't.

Morris Minor headlights and backing bowls are the same as the series II landrover (et al of that era who had a deal with lucas)


I believe all BL products used the same density of Lucas wiring smoke.

Due to some laws about the format of lights not being allowed to be composite in the US (I think), just about every single car sold in America in the 80s had these quad lamps fitted, including many imports:

I always wondered why USA Volvo's of a certain era had those style of lights instead of the same as Europe. What a great thread this is

If you look carefully, it got to that stage on the third page.

TVR Griffith uses:

Vauxhall Cavalier lights turned upside down (not sure if these are the same as the previously posted Astra lights).

Ford XR4i 260mm front brakes and either Escort Cossie or XR4i rear brakes.

Vauxhall (presumably Cavalier again) steering column and switch gear.

Rover V8 motor (modified obviously). Cranks were apparently Rover Diesel units (?)

If air con is fitted - a P38 V8 Range Rover Air con compressor.

Cosworth drive shafts.

Challenger Tank front indicators (alledgedly)

Citroen CX mirrors (non SE Griffith models) which were also fitted to the XJ220, and apparently Maclaren F1.

Side oval indicators are Ford items as fitted to Escort, Fiesta and Mondeo.

ECU - modified Land Rover.

Electric window switches - Vauxhall Cavalier.

Apologies for any repetition.
