They might not be stock items for our supplier, so maybe available on special order only,

We'll find out soon!

In the meantime you can keep yourself busy touching up some paintwork.......  :X

You probably emailed the place at the end of my road - and about five miles from Ashley. Want me to collect them to arrange their delivery in a Mini?  ;D

Working on the damage valuation at the moment, somewhere between €1000,-- and €2000,-- by the looks of it  :-/

Over the past few weeks I at last found some inspiration to start on the repairs of the damage the DHC received during the 10CR, but immediately encountered a few setbacks.
On closer inspection the damage to the car turned out to be more extensive;
• The RH door also is lightly damaged by the impact from the small rock.
  The rear of the door hit the B-pillar resulting in some cracked paint, which needs repairs;
• The front spoiler which we first thought was repairable turned out to be beyond repair;
• Paint in the seam behind the RH door is severely cracked too;
This means that two/thirds of the outside of the car needs a re-spray, so I decided it will be better to re-spray the whole car.

And when I brought the car to the paint shop recently we found out that the transmission failure is almost certainly caused by the gearbox.
While pushing the car from the trailer with th egearbox in neutral, there was definitely a grinding noise from that area,
and as the clutch wasn’t moving, it could only originate from the ‘box. Very curious now what exactly failed in the ‘box.

And since a few weeks I have all the parts to rebuild the gearbox. Hopefully I’ll soon have enough time to start assembling the new ‘box.
But I am still waiting for a new clutch kit to arrive, I ordered it 4 months ago ...

That is more than most TR7's are sold for in the UK, so here it would be classified as an insurance write off!

Actual damage was valuated @ € 2740,-.
Luckily the car is insured on an agreed value, otherwise it indeed would have been an insurance write of due to its age.

Yes, but I will change the gearbox nevertheless, as the one under the car has a rather notchy gear change.
And the clutch is suspect too, as it has a tendency to stick rather randomly.
