Routine Maintenance & Spares

The following is a list of items gathered from Workshop Manuals, Suppliers Catalogues and owners experiences. It is not a complete list. Many cars have modified or new distributors, electronic ignition systems and updated oil filters and reconditioned engines so a single list of products is not possible.

It is suggested owners make a record of the listed items applicable to their car and retain it with the car for own future reference by yourself or a new owner.

NOTES

  • Condenser. Club spares have condensers in stock. Contact Tony Cross
  • Oil Filters. Depends if you have original or modified type.
