Re: Visit to Lakes
It's in good nick as long as you have your eyes tightly closed as you approach it... I wonder if he knows the inside isn't supposed to look like thatjamescarruthers wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 8:24 pmLove how he say its not in bad nick but fails to show the front stoved in! haha
I noticed the first 440 he mentions - looks the same blue as mine: was that the speaker donor James?

This noble 440 sacrificed its undeployed seatbelt pre-tensioners for me
That too was a wet, damp and grey day at the Lakes!
Just like Jeff, not a great fan of this particular YouTube Channel.... why would you think something is a 780? The number of doors might help that assessment!

Don't think of it as "sacrifice" - think of it as "organ donation" and suddenly it seems less sad!!Jay-Kay-Em wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 8:29 pmThis noble 440 sacrificed its undeployed seatbelt pre-tensioners for me

Re: Visit to Lakes
That red auto 460 Turbo is surely worth saving - there's a pic of it on Flickr in better days...

Re: Visit to Lakes
I believe the stuff lined up out front closer to the building are off limits as they never seem to have parts taken off and they did eventually sell the white 48)S which was there. However, that could all go horribly wrong for them as nobody questioned me when I had a look around it or opened the bonnet on it.triumphtoledo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 10:10 amThat red auto 460 Turbo is surely worth saving - there's a pic of it on Flickr in better days...
@David: I can't remember which 440/460 I got your bits off as there were quite a few in the back close together. My head was utterly mashed that day as I got some really important parts for my car and kept them in my hands until I put them down in a random car! I think I spent another hour trying to retrace my steps. This was difficult as I can't help but look at lots of random models for no go reason when I'm there!
