MOT rule change LED bulbs in headlights
Malcolm Tatton replied to Malcolm Tatton's topic in General TR Technical
Hi Roger, I agree that there will be quite a few questions and concerns. Are they therefore illegal?

After Brexit -- VAT / TAX on imported cars
Malcolm Tatton replied to ANDREW PERKINS's topic in TR6 Forum

Hi Brian, Are your bumper irons originals or repros. I have a set of repros and have the same problem as you on my 1957 TR3, I've been trying to locate a set of originals to check my copies but not found any yet. Malcolm

Staffordshire vehicle components, who sell PL700's at £70 each (+VAT) offer a sidelight option with theirs for an extra £10, but say that they take a little longer as they have to drill the hole and fit the bulb holder and grommet so drilling must be possible on their version
