    Hey all,

    I was wondering if you knew any good sources for parts for this model. I'm looking for either original parts or those indistinguishable from original, but by other manufacturers. I'm NOT looking for high performance parts, as I like to keep the car as orginal as possible. I've heard of somewhere called "GBF cars" or something, standing for German-British-French cars, but can't find anything by that name.

    All help much appreciated,
    Kevpatts

    Try www.otto.ie. They have most common parts. The other one you mention is German, Swedish & French. http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

    gsfcarparts.com is the site you're thinking of - German Swedish Car Parts

    Really depends on what you're after - there are some great specialist suppliers, although I've been very happy with GSF whenever I've used them

    Thanks all, there's a wealth of sources there! At the moment I'm only looking for some small parts; a piece of trim, a cigarette lighter, the trim set for inside the boot ... and maybe a set of seats. I'm also looking for an old school AA badge. I will surely be looking for others though in the future.

    Thanks again,
    Kevpatts
