Just to clarify, the Auto SP's have DG Gearboxes, not BW35's. (The BW35's are in the Saloons).

The gear lock out on the Met Police auto SP's is a manual cable pull, not an electric lock out / speed hold.

Re: sp250 front traffic flashers

There is nothing between the indicators and the grill. Fit the indicators complete, the chrome ring holds the glass lens in place, it sits in a rebate in the rubber. Here is a picture of the indicators complete... these are available off ebay.

Re: sp250 front traffic flashers

The front indicators do not fit to the grill.

They are mounted to the body of the car, see attached photos'

Re: SP250 Exhaust Manifolds and distributor needed.

John,

Give John Carey a try in Mass USA, he has a lot of spares for the SP's.

New England Restorations is his business name from memory, and his email is daimlerusa@yahoo.com
