Area Representative marcos59 Posted November 13, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted November 13, 2010 As far I know few cars have been sold by factory with alloy nose cone and wings I would like to purchase at least a nose cone but factory didn't sell them anymore. Do you konw where I can find one ? Andy Wiltshire can't start to manufacture it before 8 months so I search an alternative manufacturer or a second hand one Thanks for your help 😶🌫️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavic82 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Have you asked Caterham to put you in touch with the company that made them for caterham so you can go direct? Alternatively try Roach Engineering, they did the original 21 body and are masters. Either way it will be quite and investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Give stuart a call at Roach as mentioned above. They certainly COULD make it, god knows what it would cost, but their work is stunning. Stuart still has his ally 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskip Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I believe it was a company near to Southampton that made the Caterham nose cones. Not sure who though. Edited by - cskip on 13 Nov 2010 22:30:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative marcos59 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks for answers, 😶🌫️ - PM sent to metal mickey - Email sent to Roach...but I'm worry about price when you have a look on cars on website I make a mistake about Andy Wiltshire. He is not booked for 8 months..but 18 months 😳 MPH motor panels seem to be experienced in Lotus/Caterham seven alloy nose and wings...I wait an answer from them CC just say We do not supply anymore and didn't give me supplier name. Does anyone remember price of these parts when sold by CC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budjuggler Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Try Andy Mitchell here and say Andy Webber referred you. His restoration business does a lot of ally work Andy - AR ReHaB The Cat in front is a Toyota .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Do post the prices you're quoted. I've often though ally wings would be nice.

jingars Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Over on the Caterham forum on Pistonheads mickrick has posted a pic of a lovely shiny nosecone, bonnet and wings. It might be worth asking him for his source. Edited by - jingars on 17 Nov 2010 12:20:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Plato Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 hi all message from andy whiltshire Hello Dave, I hope you don't mind me contacting you. I was previously a member of the Lotus 7 Club. Re, the ongoing thread regarding the aluminium nose cone, Mickricks nose and wings were made by a colleague Geoff Moss, at MPH Motor Panels in Cornwall. I was too busy and put the job his way. Could you please make your fellow members aware that if they are considering buying an aluminium nose cone, it does need to be made with the car present, to ensure that it fits correctly. If a second hand one is bought or it is made without the car being present, it will not fit! This also applies to the rear wings if the rubber beaded strip (normally between the bodywork and wings, and there only to fill the gaps left by the poor panel fit) is to be left out. Many Thanks, Andy Wiltshire Axminster Specialist Panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
