Hi Darren,
I'm in Reading.  A scrappy has offered £600
but I don't want it to be scrapped. If it may be of interest give me a call.

Where abouts are you located?
Any idea what sort of figure you might be after?

I have a Red 2+2 saloon That really needs a new home and TLC.
I was using the car as daily transport up to when Covid hit.
Coincident with retirement I put the car on SORN as there is something needing 
attention on the clutch.
It has an XR3i engine fitted with standard Ford injection ECU, 5 speed box and 
14 inch Escort wheels with very good Uniroyal rain tyres all round.
The car is not pretty and has a high mileage.
Covid got me early on and after effects are still with me so I can't see me 
able to revive the car in the near future.
I have many spares, original worn CVH engine, Refurbished gearbox internals 
plus a complete gearbox, many light lens and new rear axel support arms. Set of 
5 13" wheels

Is this something someone may be interested in?

Best regards
Ken Needham

Re: [Quantum Owners] Headlamp upgrades

2023-07-24 Thread Ken Needham 
Hi Mathew.
I have been down the same path as you but considering a change on my Lotus
elan
I drew the same conclusion as you and have fitted new led headlamp units
 The car has now been through 3 mot tests without comment.
The units I used are sold by pnmparts.co.uk. The improvement is excellent.
I have done considerable research and for once agree with the mot guidence.
Fitting hid or led bulbs in old headlight units results inmuch light
scatter. However I have found hid bulbs fitted to older projector lens
units work very well
I have fitted hid bulbs in a Alfa spider which has also passed several mots
without question
