Hi Everyone,
This car sold last night for $AUS40,500.00 plus buyer’s premium.
Pretty much what the owner was expecting.

Re: Petrol tank leak
Hi
Years ago I had a pin hole leak from the fuel tank and fixed it with a small self tapping screw, fibre washer then a fibreglass patch.
Has held (fingers crossed) for probably 20 years.

Expensive, yes but are a wonderful blend of radial grip and cross ply appearance and dimens...

Re: LA10 Interior Removal Help
Hi,
On the DB 18 saloons the rear arm rests have a bolt securing them to the body which has to be released by undoing a nut located in the rear wheel well.
Have you checked if this pin is the same and actually goes through to the exterior of the car secured by a nut and washer?
Cheers

Re: Conquest seat material for hot climates
Hi, It would seem quite counter intuitive to have vinyl or Rexine seats for hot climates as they would be even more uncomfortable than leather. Perhaps the issue is actually misunderstanding that the Conquest range had leather facings on the seats but Rexine covering for all non seat facings of the ...

Re: interior light
Thank you both for the replies.
I am sure that one can be sourced here or mailed through, it isn't a large item.
Cheers

Re: interior light
Hi,
A club member here in New South Wales is looking for the reversing light/number plate light for a Conquest saloon.
Would you have one of those available by any chance?

Re: electric fuel pump
Hi Richard, That is excellent thank you, the conversion table is very handy when looking at replacing the existing pumps or knowing what rate of flow is required for fitting a new installation. I will fit a push type unit near the fuel tank on my DE, I am tired of the car suffering from vapour lock,...
