Any Gordon Keeble Owners Out There?
Discussion
Spray shop have just been in touch, they've unwrapped the Harrington Group bumpers and the centre sections have noticeable rippling, see light reflection in picture:
I unwrapped one of the end pieces on receipt, looked perfect so wrapped it back up and left the rest to avoid it getting damaged/marked.
Is this typical? I just took a look at B7trr's and there appear to be three distinct peaks in the reflection of the grill.

I put this down to it being hand beaten and not machine pressed.
Yeah, I'd pretty much come to that conclusion. I'll take a look around at the 50th, I'm sure they'll be pretty typical. Thanks for tips on T section. I have photos of painted boot/bonnet and a masked up car, I believe it'll be in primer before the day is out if not already.Hi,found this in the box of bits that came with 11,what is it?Looks hose shape,fixes a rad hose?if so where?On 97 this bracket is not there,but that has a steering rack not the original box like 11.Thanks for any help or suggestions.A guy I know up here in Aberdeen just bought an AC 428 coupe,what a lovely car!

Yep, its a support for the bottom rad hose. Bolts to a bracket near the bottom of the chassis. When it stops raining I'll nip out to the manshed and take a pic to post.Thanks sussexkeebler,at least I know what it is,and thanks for the exhaust suggestion Huntsman.I`ll offer up the hoses and that should show me,thats the trouble buying an unfinished project.I am amazed there has not been a lot more missing and strangely I had doubles of other parts.Just put some old tyres from our village garage on 11`s wheels so I can move it sometime this year.Got my camera & the wifes ipad ready for the 50th,going to try and catch every keeble as they leave the car park.Heres an interesting shot of 11!

Anyone know if these plates perform any useful function:
Stuck in place with some mastic and a lot of painted over screws, V10Mikes is the only other car I've seen them on.
81 has them to, I assumed they were for a little more element protection for the pedal box/interior panel and inner wing on the drivers side and the glove box/windscreen motor /inner wing on the passenger sideStuck in place with some mastic and a lot of painted over screws, V10Mikes is the only other car I've seen them on.
Just got Classic Cars & next month is a keeble story "celebrating 50 years with a run on the factory test route" should be a good read,its on sale june 25th.The writer is Nigel Boothman who loves his classics so it will be good.The grille looks nice Mellow,I noticed 11`s has more slats so perhaps I`ll get you to assemble it for me!Cheers from sunny Scotland!
