Lock for Rolls Royce Statue

ann.masterson

Hi,
Where would I get a lock for the statue on the front of a Rolls Royce?
It is one that can be folded down, but I was told there was a lock or clip:rolleyes: to secure it so it can't be knicked.

junkyard

Try www.flyingspares.com they have a large selection of stuff being dismantled and will post it to you.

ann.masterson

Thanks I'll try that. I love the Fianna Fail post too.:P

junkyard

Your welcome. What model Rolls have you got Ann?

ann.masterson

Silver Spirit 1983. What about you?

junkyard

I've got a 62 Silver Cloud, a 74 Silver Shadow and a 04 Phantom.

ann.masterson

Fantastic, so you are an old hand at this then:)
This my first, obviously, so i am going to have a lot of queries I'm sure.
Where did you purchase them? I ask cos its difficult to get an immaculate one in Ireland.

MercMad

I see a lovely '83 or '88 one around North county Dublin, a Silver Spirit that is !

Any pictures of the '62 Junky ?

junkyard

Thats a shame. I love looking around old yards at cars. Remember looking around a yard down Carrigaline direction a few years ago. You prob know where. Full of some cool stuff.

MercMad

Lovely cars guys, and I love the '79 Dublin reg'd Shadow, PL !

Do you know the history of that car ?

Redrocket

The photo was taken just where the car was at the time, much as i'd love to ban every Renault it looks like it's not going to happen due to all the Renault fanboys around. Yes Limerickman the BM is for sale for 2950 euros, it's on carzone too with more photos.

Bitten & Hisses

That 6 is a beaut and looks cheap compared to the others on Carzone
