DB18 Consort radiator and grille

I picked up some EL24 parts yesterday - the owners also have a complete DB18 or Consort radiator assembly and grille, including frame and header tank (at least that's what I think it is). They would like that gone too - I did not take it as there was no room in the car, and I have no use for it. If ...

Re: EL24 parts and spares for sale

Hi Ron (and all others interested),

Everything has now been sold, and £100 will be sent to the RBL in Garth's memory. I believe some bits may be available in due course if not required, but I will let the new owner post about that when ready.

Thanks for all the interest.

Re: Daimler Conquest Century 1954

It's one of those things that polarises opinion; some people swear by it, others don't. I am in the latter category - I would not (yet!) use it and would urge caution if you are considering it. It was comprehensively discussed on the old forum, link here: http://archive.dloc.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TO...

Looks good, but he's not doing himself any favours by listing it as a Ford!

Re: EL24 cylinderhead

A further update, on behalf of Claudio. He and John have decided to get on and finish the project, so no money has to be paid upfront for development or deposits on heads. The heads will be offered for sale after they are tested on John and Claudio's cars, as soon as possible early next year. This w...

Re: EL24 cylinderhead

Followers of this thread will have seen mention of Andy Wrightson's work on producing a new head for the EL24. Andy has contacted me and is now ready to cast the first batch. Having followed developments he is not interested in making an offer to the club, but will consider including anyone who need...

Re: EL24 cylinderhead

Syd, I've 79 cars on the books, of which 22 are running and roadworthy in UK, and a further 22 in various stages of restoration (or are restorable). A further 17 are overseas, possibly 10 or so are running. There are around 5 cars requiring a head to get them back on the road, and clearly some of th...
