A fellow GWOA member (F.W.Rich) has asked me to let you know about the fiberglass parts he manufactures to make your 460 look like a 463 series. He can make the following sets of parts in fiberglass ready to be painted (prices in brackets):

Wheel arches (similar to the factory item, set of 4: £ 200)

Front panel, including grille and headlamp surrounds but excluding "star" emblem (8 parts: £ 450) (the GGGGGGGG Strip is optional)

Rear Bumper (3 parts: £ 250)

Side Steps

I am told that he can make virtually any part that one could wish after discussing requirements.

These pictures show his car (dreadful weather prevented the the paint from shining) at the Beaulieu meet today.

For further information telephone 01384 237959

Freshen up your 460!!!

Hi,
This is a bit off topic,but I'm looking for the paint code for the red wagen in the background of first pic,
I'm also looking for resources for restoration parts - I just purchased an '84 GD300,
it's in pretty good shape but need brake calipers rebuilt and a few other small bits.

regards,
Jason

I believe it to be: Signal (Fire Engine) Red DB-568. I know that the car is a A-reg (1984).

If you look it up on this website this is the colour you get.

There are numerous threads regarding parts on this forum. Use the search engine within the forum to locate them.

On second thoughts, it looks closer to DB3535 "Carmine Red".
