Not far from me if anyone wants them looking over .

I own these cars if anyone has any questions, although as LHD cars generally seem to be about 50% more in Europe than RHD are here I can't see them making any sense to a UK buyer

I bought them both 3 or 4 years ago for my collection but a combination of people not doing what they said would when they said and not being able to get parts to finish them has led to me falling out with them. That and the last 18 months making me realise that having over 50 cars is a bit silly!

A very kind member called Simon Hope did ring me a few days ago and offered to help out supplying parts and the skills needed to finish them, which he urged me to do rather than sell them as is

 

[Duncan]

Thanks for popping along to say hello!

Your right LHD definitely still are premium on the continent, but could prove an interesting project for someone in the UK who has the parts to complete.

I'm the club registrar and try to keep track of the cars around the world, if you don't mind me asking, id love to know what plaque numbers your cars wear.

 

[djbpfx]

No problem, I don't know the numbers off the top of my head but I'll have a look next time I'm with the cars

Simon did mention that someone on the forum might be reproducing the fog light surrounds - does anyone know anything about that? I was thinking about having it done but £2500 for the scanning to produce the parts put me off a bit!

 

[Duncan]

Which side is the fog surround light on? I know where a left hand one (as you face at the front of the car) may be lurking.

I do recall someone discussing reproductions - possibly [mention=5044,#999966]splitpin[/mention]

I got some of the reproduction ones from the continent. 3D printed and they're not bad you know. Better than nowt anyway, I'm going to paint them and fit them and put the OE ones away safe.
Screenshot of who they came from below, I shared postage with another member and he sorted it all (thanks Graham!) And posted mine over.

Brill, thanks gents, I may finish these cars and get to enjoy them yet!

I need a left hand side surround for a phase 1 and a right hand side surround for a phase 2

I'll try the guy in Spain too

 

[DaveL485]

I spoke with Graham, he DM'd the guy I posted above on Facebook to arrange the replica parts, so drop him a message on thaty profile.

 

[djbpfx]

I've got in touch with him now, thanks again Dave

Hi [mention=5905,#000000]djbpfx[/mention] is this your car up on collecting cars? link GLWTS! :approve:

 

[djbpfx]

Hi Duncan,

Yes it is mine, I finally pulled my finger out and got it finished.

To be honest looking at the professional photos after it was detailed I really don't want to sell it now :rollseyes:

I think I'm going to put the phase 2 on ebay shortly too

 

[Duncan]

Well done on getting it finished! I don’t blame you regretting it. Did you get to drive it much? :race:

 

[djbpfx]

LHD Phase 2 (Lutecia) now on ebay although I don't expect anyone in the UK to buy it

 

[idefix]

Was it sold?
