Well, its not like I said a Corolla, I'm guessing you can count the number of cars in the island on one hand, and you probably know all of them! :D

I thought I could have, until a a fellow member of the ICE club called us in wee hours of Thursday morning to tell us that he's just bought one from Negombo :lol:

True. The 4C will be lot more usable than the Exige for sure. The Elise/Exige is now quite old and sales are down to a trickle. And there are many doubts about the long term survival of Lotus. The pow

Hi Pb2k, Great to have someone who speaks my language here at last!. I live in Colombo and have 4 Alfas. Of course I am a big fan. Once you've got used to an Alfa Romeo nothing else will do eh? BMWs

Nope not that one. This one's got the original engine. Must go have a look.

If it was from around wennappuwa or thereabouts, it will be missing most of the interior, and the headlamp motors...

Probably. It's not too hard to get parts for an X 1/9 though...... A lot easier than Alfas for example ;)

But there are Milano Motors and Monza and DTR for Fiat there are more but I'm not very Familiar as I have had no need to source FIAT parts.

There are many many more for Alfas though! It's just that most Sri Lankans don't know this cause very few have old Italian cars!! try Alfaholics, EB spares, Highwood Alfa, Classic Alfa, in the UK and International Auto Parts in the US. There are many more but these are the guys I buy from. Besides them Singapore and Thailand have classic Alfa parts dealers who also have Fiat and Lancia bits. I've bought lots from them too.

The shop in Bangkok was an amazing place. The first ever parts I bought for my Alfetta (in my signature :)) I bought from this shop when I visited there. They showed me a stunning pic of a Smokey Blue Alfetta GT 1.8. It's a very low mileage car that's kept in concourse condition. The owner is the Prince of Thailand!!! And these guys supply him parts! I told them that the Prince had very good taste ;) They even told me how one of their former Kings had pre war Alfas!!

The only brand that may be slightly tough is Lancia. Especially Pre-Fiat cars....

sorry for going off thread...but do any of you know a place i can get spare parts for a holden kingswood.....or any international shop like a moss equalant for aussie cars?...thank you

Aussie guys can be a bit tough unless you have someone over there. They tend to be a bit lazy with overseas inquiries.... But they have well preserved used spares for almost any 70s car.

I just googled these....

hmmm there was a bloke selling a Torana hatch - you might wanna try your luck calling him and checking about parts cuz i recall the advert saying something about extra geroboxes etc , he had to have gotten them from somewhere so who knows he might share from where...

way out there i know but worth a shot i guess
