Stage 1 V8

Parts catalogue quotes a modification to the 1/2 gearbox selector fork at gearbox number 88108316. Assuming 5% of gearboxes were supplied as spares in CKD kits or were warranty units in the first years of production, that would indicate a field population of about 7900 vehicles. Could be completely ...

Sort of, long story. Currently living in Dorking, but moving back to Redhill (off Redstone Hill) in May 2010.

I commute to Salfords in the V8 most Mondays to keep things turning over:

Is that Mercers Lake?

Has anybody got a spare p...

Hello All, I have an opportunity to have replacement bonnet locks manufactured for 109 V8. Not exactly the same, slightly smaller, but they look OK. If anyone is interested I can post a piccy of the sample I fitted to my own 109. Key will not match ignition key, but door lock barrels and keys could ...
