I dearly hope it's the type with the plastic orange hair attached to it...

I don't always do the same thing, 81 Turbo Esprit is about to come back on the road... Biscuit leather with black alcantara interior to accompany the 7 year body-off restoration. A car VASTLY superior to how it left the factory, every component replaced, refurbed or upgraded - I even replaced the engine completely with a hand built brand new 240bhp turbo unit.

So that bit is at least consistent! smile

but you left in the Austin Maxi/Morris Marina door handles.


(only teasing- it's a fabulous project)

looks good Y, can't wait to see it fitted... seems to be similar to the N400 style Aston Microspin alloy finish?

Hmm, maybe. The engine turning is far bigger though and the finish should look very different and have a hand made look as the turning always has some imperfections and variations.

Do you (ar anyone else) have a decent shot of a microspin fascia? Google gives a couple of tiny pictures and old links and I have never seen one in the metal.
