Hi Everbody

I was chatting to a Nice Man at a Show Last week who is a New Member that doesn't do The Internet Surprised

He is desperate for a Good 1275 Gear Box as the one on his S2 1300 is Shot Crying or Very sad

He would also like a pair of decent wings ,I have informed him that the wings could be tricky Rolling Eyes

His name is Don
Telephone 01978820517

Thanks
Matt Wink

Suggest to him it will be easier/cheaper to source another engine/box unit either from classifieds/Classic Car Weekly or put up a wanted ad in classifieds/Classic Car Weekly etc. (for complete unit).

Anything for an A series is going to have a premium attached due to the Mini Effect.

I was also considering the aspect of wrecked box means wrecked engine too.

It may be better to source a half tidy engine/box unit.

You can buy rebuilt boxes/short engines/complete units from www.minispares.com
