Quite a find the old auto. Do you have reg and chassis number for the club archives? I imagine we've no record of it as it has been hidden away in a Scottish castle all these years. Glad it has yielded some decent bits. Remember club has a few s/hand items around and so do I personally - no Holbay bootlids now tho!  |

I probably have everything here except the block. I have....
Holbay cylinder head c/w valves & springs
Holbay camshaft
4 x flat top pistons (standard size)
Inlet manifold (Weber type)
Exhaust manifold (4 branch)
Holbay Dizzy
Was thinking of putting it all on ebay as a complete kit for someone who has a good standard block and wants to convert it to Holbay spec.

Early model Sierra springs will fit the '73 onwards type struts - I used 40% uprated front springs on both my Rapiers.
If your car is earlier I think you will have to get springs made up, or find some '73 or later front struts.

Let me know if you found one...
I'm going to do some "research" 
I'm going to have a look at a humber sceptre auto center console... to see how big the whole is... and if i could fabricate something not to far of the original...
Thanks Andy!

Have been thinking about it... Could I enlarge the hole in the center console to something similar to a manual?

removed the dash yesterday and the trims & seals that i need all the window regulators are better than mine so they can come out, the car is in a very poor state having been stood in the grounds of a scottish castle since 1977
the front wings are poor but it does have an alloy sump (jan)
the carpet is u/s as water has got in via the aerial hole on the front scuttle

Can you put a pic up of the wings as I still might be intrested. As there more than I have at the mo!

Damn, of course should 've thought about that...
Thanks anyway.
But, maybe I could make one aluminum panel, shouldn't be that hard...
any thoughts?

fastback thomas
its an auto so the alloy plate hs a slot rather than a square hole
autofastback
the doors are shot, it has the sill trims, the ones on mine are missing so will have to have a look in my spare trim box to see if i can match them up
i have loads of trims i didn't know where thay all went until i looked at the donor car !
