Thanks all - I now have a price list and panel diagram from Robert Prinn so thanks for the heads up on the Dutch panels.

I also have a readers car section I have started now so I'll probably just keep that thread going.

Regarding the radiator. A new bolt in aluminium one is ~£200. Is it even worth looking at getting the original one re-cored or is the aluminium one a good insurance policy against any potential overheating....

There is a woman called Clare who lives in Derbyshire that would part ex your old rad for a recon one. It's less than the alloy rad.

Standard rad is more than capable of running a 1275 engine

Great stuff! I remember following an A35 on a rainy trackday at Donington Park - it looked like a lot of fun!
First time I drove mine was at Donington in February this year, couldn't get on with the brakes - found out the chap that 'balanced the brake bias front to rear' had set them up to pretty much be entirely working the rear drums and not using the front disc brakes...!

Nice car thumbup

Tried sending you a message but you aren't accepting emails through the forum. I can accept emails I think. If you click on my username you can send me an email that way.
