Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
I'm thinking about travelling the length of the country for the weekend. Is there much Type 4 stuff left? (I'll be interested in the sills.)

Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
Theres 2 or 3 carfulls of type 4 stuff,..2 Bonnets,door,bumpers,engine parts,fi parts,Dash,sills,sill trim,washer bottles,gearboxes,air filters,filter elements, and more that I cant remember! It all depends how desperate you are for the bits,but you'd spend more on petrol than we'd take from you for the parts.But this is Last chance on Type 4 parts & most type 3 parts..Elderly Gents son is planning a trip to the local tip on the Monday morning with things that just aren't ever going to sell.
Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
Still looking for a Tow Bar for a Type 3, which weekend will the event take place?
Also, a few tiny bits of trim if they are available, but I suspect I'll have to hunt these down elsewhere.

Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
Might be able to get up there on the Saturday Peter and I'll rescue anything Type 4 orientated rather than see it binned, I'll bring the van this time though as I'm in need of a pair of front leatherette style seats for the 412 and any interior trim for the 411. I'll pm you next week to confirm details Peter, thanks Shawn

Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
I am planning to go to the sale so if any club members living between Bath and Inverness who are unable to go in person could PM me with what you want, I will see what I can do for you. Please state parts, acceptable condition, maximum price and contact phone number. If I haven't enough space I will prioritise in some rational way e.g. difficulty of posting, distance from Bath.

Hi Peter
we'll be there Saturday. We'll be in the van. I'm sure all us type 4 owners can save the majority of the type 4 stuff.

Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
The one we pulled out last week,is rough but solid.
Theres too many other bits I've seen in this process to remember condition of other bumpers
I'd say all the bumpers still here are about the same condition

Re: Another Sale weekend at the Elderly Gents House!
I'm still none the wiser where this Elderly Gents House actually is, I wouldn't mind a good look around, I've actually secured a tow bar now but there's still bits of trim, and of course I'm still on the look out for 3 point high back seats, even though I've sourced some low backs.
