I believe Mark (FlyingEnglishMen on eBay) may have one. I saw a Perfect chassis at his place when I collected an eBay purchase from him.
I thought was a new CTM chassis or a nos one as it couldn’t be faulted. He told me it was off an Arizona 76 TR6 that had been on the road for a few years then stored.
NFI in the chassis. I would have been in the market if I hadn’t already brought a ctm chassis.

Hello David
Are the new pistons SS? If yes I’ll contact you for a price in gold if you have any left.
Thank you

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your advice - I assume that is for the wheels plus 'X' Rostlye wheels? A breakdown MAY be more helpful as I am a HOPEFUL buyer for the steel wheels...

PS - Martin I am sure we will get there!

he probably meant 1987 ;-) Anyway, it looks like the "4185" batch is all over the net with those surprisingly immaculate tags...
Yes but the seller in the USA identifies the lenses as NOS - not the complete lamp units as sold on ebay UK. I see the 4185 sticker is on the NOS lense so perhaps the ebay UK ones are genuine?

I really doubt the £97 option will compare favourably to the ones TRF would supply
. This is fine, unless of course you happen to encounter one of theirs on another car
I saw the PDE ones at Beaulieu and thought they were NOS... They had my money in a flash and I am not disappointed after fitting them.

I would say at least £350 each badge for a NOS STANPART badge.
I know some poeple will think I am mad but to get one 'restored' is £150 each badge and this will not be perfect even if you have purchased an original badge for teh basis of the restoration. I know because I have been down this avenue already...
If anyone knows of someone who can produce the 'bees knees' please post!

I don't think so (unfortunately as I am currently in the same boat...)
I have it on good knowledge from a good friend who sold a NOS set to a German restoration company some years back who had a set 'restored' at great expense. Their customer was not happy with them and hence they located the NOS instead. There is a thread about it here on forum history if you know how to search these things.

Hi there,
I don't profess to being any expert but I had EXACLTLY the same problem as you.
I took the advice of Robsport and filled the system as normal. I then got a 2 litre empty plastic drinks bottle, cut the end off it and wrapped the pouring end with insulation tape so that I created a 'seal' between the bottle and the header tank. I think filled this 1/2 full and got someone to increase engine revs - this sucked more water into the system. With the revs still increased I put the cap back on the resevoir and I have been running perfectly since.
It didn's suck much extra coolant into the system but it has certainly solved the problem.
I hops this helps and if so please post a reply here - I believe this is a fairly common problem with the TR8.
Thanks

Nice Ad. Thanks for sharing
I prefer the video they shot with the three TR5's:

I have just doubled checked my records and need to correct my previous reply.
Topoff.
Hi Topoff - I've been following this thread with a lot of interest. Do you have any information on JRW 582V in general (i.e. was this a press car at the Woburn launch) and more specifically which shade of White it should be - the Heritage trace says "Leyland White" whereas the commission plate says "Ermine White".
Thanks

Hi, I have bought replacement 4 window channels for my TR5; however, they are a much larger profile than the originals. Does anyone know a source for better after market replacements? Thanks
The Roadster Factory (USA) make perfect new channels and I believe these are now stocked by Moss. I used these with no installation issues and a perfect fit.
