You may be better off emailing Derek directly at parts@a40farinaclub.co.uk

I am not sure how active he is on the forum but he does monitor his email. It might mean you get an answer quicker :D

'ere mate, hoo yoo callin' quirky??

I hope you get this car, Sid, it certainly looks quite solid and, with a huge range of spares and panels available, there's hopefully no big problems to trouble you.

hi everyone..i've made an offer for the car,which has been accepted :)
hope to pick up the car as as i can..tho'don't fancy driving down the M1 'smart' motorway..as a lorry driver,i've seen the carnage that can ensue on those :cry: so will poss borrow a trailer.
on another note..i visited a friend who has a business repairing/rebuilding classic's..on another part of the farm is a stash of car's owned by a number plate dealer..among the many Morris Minor's.Ford 100e's,old Riley's etc are 2 early Mk 2 A40's mouldering away :x

These dealers put profit above history and it's so disappointing. But warmest congrats on winning your car!
