Afternoon Gents

Does anybody have a lead on where I can source headlight surrounds for the Sebring 2? I’ve spent the morning at Mcgraths looking at the Sebring 2s they currently have in (5 no less..). The light surrounds I have look wrong. We are currently reprofiling the wings to fit potentially the wrong surround so I need to sort asap.

As an alternative ( and this is a massive ask) would anyone be prepared to lend me their surrounds to take a mould from them so we can go ahead and finish the bodywork up front. I’d be happy to underwrite any costs from loss or damage and to handle the parts personally. I have an excellent fibre glass chap who has said he can make me a copy for sizing purposes.

any suggestions gratefully received!

Hi Viken and Andy

Sorry I missed these posts – got to stop my Trash folder eating the important stuff. Andy sorry to have missed the opportunity to meet at the NEC. Viken, I’m based in London too – SW5. If it’s possible to drop over at some stage and take a look at a few details on your car that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Thanks Tony,

Despite passing through a few hands over the years, most of what I have is in good shape. As ever it’s the small stuff that takes the time and ultimately defines the finished result.

A few more components sourced below:

Query No.2

Does anyone know if the headlamp trim surrounds are Lancia Flavia? I have three, none of which fit 100%. I have one with the following markings:

My first build query.

Below is a photo of the handle mechanism (to the right) and the door catch (on the left).

I appear to be missing the linkage / component in between the two… Does anyone have an insight you could share please?

When you unlock the door, the two ‘fingers’ on the handle rotate, presumably so they will not then engage with the door catch when the door is locked .

Thanks for these leads Jerry, I’ll follow up. I have an email on file from the Maserati archivist confirming the car’s build lineage. I’ll double check and let you know.
