Summers spent enjoying these with a crowd of biker mates around mid/north Wales most Sundays. Tho thrashing the nuts off this at the mo, same roads.

Very interesting

Looks like I've got it wrong for the last 9 1/2 years!

That is a whale tail - isn't a tea tray rubber flat? That one on the car is the same shape as the one on my old 82 SC -it's the same as on the turbo.

Looks good. I could not find them on their website!

Thanks Jevvy. I doubt he will have to much to do mechanically, tho the suspension is largely original. He will have to sort the paint and the front screen needs removing/replacing to look for the last place for rot. Also a few small electrical gremlins need to be addressed. Hope to sort a Med cruise for later this year.

Well, she has finally gone. Thanks to you all for the help & best wishes. The forum is, and the track day outings were, superb. Looking for the same with the elise (hope)! All the best, Mark.

He will not let anyone collect with cash for some reason? Just hope their is no-one green enough to pay & for delivery.

Make sure you get it in matt not gloss!!

Fantastic day. Great to see you all. Car back in one piece and a great send off for it as it goes on Sunday. Never missed a beat, & I will miss it, though the elise reduces the loss. Many regards, Mark.

Would be good to have someone local who can pop and have a look?

He says his name is Peter & he's located at Wigton Nr Carlisle and selling hid dead uncles belongings. Ho HO

OK I'm just leaving - see you in 3 1/2 hours.

Thanks - earlier the better as i'm 200 miles away & 3 1/2 hours!

I asked if they could do the afternoon. Tho it was at 17.25!! If you see them early and can sort an afternoon for me please let me know. Tho the guy buying the car has just emailed me to say he's paid the rest of the money. 07786337884

Yes, I mentioned it.

Tried booking today but full. Bit of a tw4t to say the least, as I finally managed to sort work, so I 'm off tomorrow. Have a good time all.

I remember breaking down at Le Mans and being towed off the track on the first bend after the start/finish straight. I spent the next hour worried sick as I went through as much as poss to get it going. In the end I pushed some brown wire into the connector next to the spark box and hey presto fired up. So far I have always found its the simple things that cause the problem. Though an ECU is a different ball game - I felt the French were rubbing their hands while I fretted over not being able to find the fault. They seemed pretty unhelpful and seemed pissed when I managed to find the fault. If I was abroad again I would certainly make sure I had cover to guard against that sort of bill - Am I right E150 to the OPC and they did not sort it? A guy broke his engine (5th to 2nd gearchange I think) but others managed to get his car to the ferry so it could be collected in blighty and home.

Hi All, After 9 1/2 years of ownership my SC will soon be leaving these shores and heading off back to mainland Europe - Luxemburg to be exact. I bought it off ebay unseen, then had the gearbox refurbed before knowing the likes of Mike B up in Kendal. Having it has been as much a hobby as driving it, having been through the 101projects and engine rebuild books. I never considered ever rebuilding any engine - now I have topend rebuilt a spare and then a total rebuild of the one in the car seems hysterical now. Especially as they both work! Many trackdays, with visits to Spa & Le Mans with IB'ers was a high point in this forum, which has been a joy. I still have the elise which is half the value of the Porsche and 1/2 the running costs as I needed to sell the car so I can use the money while my wife is still able to enjoy it. I hoped to get to Snetterton next Wed in it if I could wrangle off work early, but it may be gone before then. Kind regards, Mark.

Look here.

You will never learn if you don't try it yourself.

Orange actually!

It's only a cheap one fortunately.

Fantastic - I'll do the search later after work.

Hi All. I have a 1983 3.0 SC. My rear fog light has broken off (camping at Silverstone). My query is: can the fog light be incorporated into one of the rear light clusters? My both my rear lights have a reversing light in them - so wondering if one of them can be converted to a fog light? Has anyone done this please? I'm sure the wiring is the easy bit but getting the lenses to work is the difficult bit? Regards, Mark.
