I have an S1, which I almost sold the other day, but came to my senses just in time.

My car originally had the Cobra slots, but were a bit scruffy, so I found some Oz racing alloys for reasonable money and fitted them. In the meantime I sold my slots....what a muppet. Anyone know where I can get some from for reasonable money? I will refurbish them, so as long as they are straight.

Also, I want to refurbish the interior, which is not really my thing. Does anyone know who would do a reasonable job, hopefully not to distant from South Norfolk?

Thanks

TVR Carparts had a habit over Christmas of listing the slots on ebay - I picked up a set of 4 for £150.
A subsequently listed set went for £200.

I'd suggest its worth a call to Neil at TVRCarparts to see if they have any more and if they will do a deal.
Got to be worth asking.

The ones I bought were brand new sealed in the box.

Hi there,

I've got a set........just about to complete refurbing a set of 8-spokes. Once they're on the car, you can have a nice set of slots with centre caps etc. They don't need a refurb but could be improved with some cutting paste, elbow grease and a few beers one afternoon.

I'm based in Dorset but don't mind delivering if the price is right and you're not too far away..........

Where are you in Dorset? I'm up near Yeovil.

I'm in Poole....not too far from you. With any luck, I'll get the 8-spokes on this coming weekend so the slots will be ready for a new home. I'm after £85 for them.

That's probably the set I went to see near Croydon on Sunday. If anyone wants an opinion on them feel free to PM me wink
