|

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
He is desperate for a Good 1275 Gear Box as the one on his S2 1300 is Shot
He would also like a pair of decent wings ,I have informed him that the wings could be tricky
His name is Don
Telephone 01978820517
Thanks

| 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. _________________ ...that's why Allegro will look as good 5 years from now as it does today. |

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 |
