The blue, black and silver MINI badge was unique to the 1969-1976 pre-facelift classic Mini Clubman and is therefore quite rare.

These superb quality badges will provide the finishing touch to concours cars.

Just because your classic Mini has a rod-change gearbox doesn’t mean it’s immune from gear lever vibration. In time, the ball at the end of the lever wears allowing unwanted movement. The ball is not replaceable on its own; replacing the lever is the only answer.
Thankfully, Mini Spare, can provide a complete new gear leve. The gear lever comes with fitted dome washer, spring, rubber and a brand new ball. It even has a smart chrome finish that will stay looking good for years in spite of constant gear changing.
Order as part number 22A1932CHROME at £115.20 inc VAT.

The TVR Tamora 2-seater sports car was introduced in 2002 to fill the gap left by the company’s Chimaera and Griffith models and was the entry-level model of the TVR range. With a 0–60 mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mph (270 km/h) this is a pretty potent car. Now, GAZ has produced a monotube suspension to help handle all of that power to the optimum.
GAZ gas-charged Monotube Coilovers are far lighter than other types of coilover damper. They also make more use of lightweight billet aluminium parts thus reducing unsprung weight and making them ideal for serious trackday or competition use. They also react quicker and can be used in an inverted position.
GAZ Monotube Coilover kits come with silicone chrome springs and the required mounting hardwear. The spring platforms are adjustable to allow the ride height to be altered as required and the bump and rebound settings can be adjusted by means of a knurled collar at the top (or bottom if used inverted).
Like all GAZ coilovers the monotubes carry a two year warranty for non race use.
Bespoke valving and customer’s preferred spring rates are available.
GAZ Monotube Coilover Suspension Kits for the TVR Tamora retail at £1104.38 + carriage & VAT.

The Toyota Starlet is a popular choice as a clubman level competition car or a fast road car capable of occasional track days. With that in mind GAZ can offer coilover dampers that will fit the bill for both of these uses.
GAZ fully adjustable dampers enable the damping rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. They are adjustable by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.
The ride height can also be adjusted to allow clearance for road use or to provide a lower centre of gravity on the track.
GAZ dampers are sold without springs and are available in a choice of diameters to allow different diameter spring coils to be selected. 12mm or 14mm diameter piston rods can also be specified. The units feature a gas cell in the outer reservoir to prevent cavitation and to resist fade.
All units are available with a choice of bearings and bonded or polyurethane bushes.
Dampers are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
The GAZ GP dampers for Toyota Starlet are available as part number GP6-5224 and have a starting retail price of £92.96 each plus VAT

In response to customer demand, leading suspension specialists GAZ has now produced a double adjustable coilover race damper specifically for Hillman Imps used in competition or for serious track day use where extra damper adjusting parameters are required.
The body of the dampers sport two multi point adjustable control knobs, a blue one for the bump and a red one for the rebound adjustment.
Although these are brand new dampers they include all the popular GAZ features. They are manufactured from high tensile alloy with induction hardened piston rods, are filled with high viscosity index fluid to help prevent fade and have an internal gas cell to alleviate cavitation.
GAZ dampers come with the option of self lubricating spherical bearings and progressive bump stops. GAZ Double Adjustable Coilover Shock Absorbers are available in a range of body diameters, strokes and lengths. Springs can be supplied with a rate appropriate to the intended use. Front dampers (TA 2251) have ride height adjustment by means of a threaded spring platform. Rear dampers (TA 2253) have a lower than stock ride height.
The complete kit of dampers and springs has a RRP of £965.00 + carriage & VAT.

Here’s a way to extract some extra performance from the five bearing ‘B’ Series 1800cc engine as used in the 1968-1980 MGB without making any modifications to the engine internals.
A Fidanza lightweight flywheel can easily be installed when you replace the clutch and will bring the following benefits:
• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration • Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses) • Smoother, faster shifting • Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass) • Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation) • Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need to replace entire flywheel when worn) • Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!) • Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)
The Fidanza flywheel incorporates a 127 tooth ring gear and is suitable for the 4-Synchro gearbox.
It can be ordered as part number 126801 and retails at USD $405.38 plus ship-ping and tax.
