Hi guys,
There's a few spares I'm going to need for my 360 so I've decided it's probably time I made a phat trip to Lakes Autos. The trip will go ahead as soon as I've phoned them and got some prices for parts but I might bail if they're going to charge stupid money.

Lakes is a proper hoard of parts, they have... well, everything.

I have space in the pug but bear in mind I'm already going down to pick up an entire 360 transmission. So no engines

Shopping list below please

Please bear in mind that they're not known to be cheap. I'd like a maximum price for every item so that I don't waste my time taking it off.

If they have anything rare from early/any Mk1's let me know! (not engine or transmission though). Stuff like 3 door quarter light glass, stainless trim, still after 1 more perfect headlamp reflector. Also black Mk1 parcel shelf (unlikely!). Spare Mk 1 bumper parts would be good too. Bulgy bonnet still required if one going. By the way I also still believe in Father Christmas

haha I'll try. Last time I was there, there was a splitty mk2 and a redline out the front so they do get rare stuff now and again.

Don't expect them to honour a price they give on the phone and definitely don't let on to how far you have travelled otherwise the price will instantly double!

I visit them whenever I pass them on my way to the National but I've never found them to be too expensive.
But I tend to buy a carload full at a time.....

I spotted one 300 on Google Street View

Those pics are probably a few years' old by now though.

They're really close to me and I get on ok with barry.. might be able to come along with you if I'm free.

I went by yesterday and they've got a tidy (well, from a passing vehicle distance) looking Mk3 340 on the forecourt that looks as if it might be for sale.

Trip postponed as the 360 they have in has no torque tube. Damn, but as soon as they've got another in I'll be heading down.
