QUOTE(9146-racer @ Jan 14 2023, 09:07 AM)  OK so we all had a good laugh at my termanology.....can't anyone in UK find one for me...PRETTY PLEASE.. Ian I don't think anyone was laughing at you or your terminology... I doubt you were the one that christened the name "scuttle". It is just the difference in automotive jargon in various countries that people started discussing - especially when few knew what a scuttle is. The bulk of 914s went to North America. If you are looking for a highly specialized "piece" of a car you have to look where most of them are. In the very short time that I have been in the 914 world, I have learned that if you find something you need or want, you have to jump on it and not wait. You may not have the chance again for a long time. I have paid some ugly shipping costs when I found NOS OEM rear Euro lenses in the UK (and got screwed because one was not OEM despite the claim) - but that is part of the hobby. There is way more available in the USA, including new reproduction parts, than you will ever find in the UK. You have to go where the supply is. If there are truly only 24 914s in the UK, finding a supply of stuff would be similar to me looking for Reliant Robins parts in Canada. I wonder how many 914World members we have that are in the UK? Like @Osnabruck914 (previously Ansbacher) said, after N.A., Germany would be the location of the next highest concentration of 914 bits and pieces. Best of luck. |
