The bits everyone wants

[Kev Leaper]

Hi
Sorry, I'm probably asking for rocking horse stuff, but does anyone have -
Chrome R4 Grille, Gear lever, four speed gearbox cover and the selector that needs changing for 5-speed conversion (or whole box). New top and bottom hoses that would suit Gordini R5 engine in R4.
If you want to contact me via this site or direct at kev@ppcmag.co.uk

Thanks for taking the time to read request and Happy Xmas all.

Regards Kev

You can buy the chrome grille from Franzose / Melun Retro Passion, turning one up over here could be difficult!

I would recommend Franzose - just got a grille

Welcome to the forum too. They are the sort of thing that everyone wants!

I had to make up washers and a grille to put mine altogether too.

Great, I'll have all those parts, thanks very much.
I could pay now if you like as I couldn't collect for a couple of weeks. Just let me know what suits best.

Most of the rare bits (chrome grilles, bumpers, wing mirrors, door handles and other early parts) turn up on ebay France every now and then. You can use google translate to ask the vendors questions - shipping costs to the UK usually - if you need to. I've been slowly amassing bits this way for when my GTL is rebuilt. I even got a Twingo full length sunroof this way! Leboncoin is also really good but emailing vendors is a lot more patchy regarding whether you get a response or not which is a shame as its often a better source of really rare bits at more reasonable prices...

Good luck.
