I had one of these fitted to my Mini - not for very long, though... But I'm going to fit one again, as soon as the next engine's been build. Cheers, Jan

Amazon has a dealer fit Golde sliding steel sunroof. Apparently rare as. Another 121 (in the same colour) turned up with one in Holland. It also has a VHF dual speaker Blaupunkt with a fader switch that was a third of the car's value in 1969. It didn't work so I took it out for the moment. Also to be fitted (but on the shelf) are a pair of early metal doorcaps that continue the dashboard trims on to the doors. I also have an Ellemann Jakobsen alloy rocker cover. Never seen another one here, although anything's possible with Tradera and access to a courier. One mentalist offered me a near four figure sum for it, but unless things got very bad financially, it stays. I've also had a 16" 60's Nardi splined to fit the steering column. And GT500 mags fit Amazons too, or something.

The Oxford will (eventually) get this '50s or early '60s fabricated twin 2" SU manifold. The engine should be of a spec that will not be too over-carb'd The Herald's wheels are pretty rare... and of course it has the twin cam conversion by this rarely heard from tuning firm

Cheers, Jan I've got one of those Fish carbs too but fitted to a Beetle instead. It also has period Kamei front and rear spoilers and a rare Kamei bonnet scoop. Inside I have a Kamei tunnel tray and a 4 cylinder Porsche 912 tachometer.

Front spot lamps from a 123GT, wing mirrors are Pug 304 door mirrors (very similar in style to the OEM Volvo door mirrors as fitted to later Amazons, but much less chunky / heavy looking), OEM option headrests, and an early 140 centre console unit (a very similar one was an option for Amazons). I did have a set of Amazon fitment Cosmic wheels, but those were swapped last year for the 123GT front seat Recaro chrome reclining mechanisms which i still haven't fitted yet.....

The problem is finding saloon owners, I'm one of a handful in the scene I can only assume that people threw them away thinking that they were worthless, making them pretty rare.

Here's another one; a Cosmic Ribster (5x10"). They will go on my Mini - as soon as I found 3 more... In the meanwhile, I might put on my poor quality wobbly children's play pony poo poo Momos:

Got these to fit sometime But they are as much use as a catflap on a submarine, I had them on my 55 vanguard and one whistled past my ear at 60mph as it made its succesful bid for freedom. So possibly show use only
