It does look like a late one but pics can be deceptive.

The difference between early and late is in the centre bonnet section. The late model has a raised centre section:-

Bonnet cross sections:

Early style ------______------

Late Style ____----------____

Is it a late or early one?

If it's late I may well be interested but would have to organise transport and storage at my end which might take time.

Count me in, too.

Any idea on price?

tbvr6 - could you post some pics?

Don't know if it's fair pricing but I was thinking about £45 each, so say £125 for the 3?

Courier collection would be fine.

I also have VR6 wishbones in good condition, if you're interested in doing those, too...

Received the modded bulb holder with LED fitted very promptly and works perfectly with much stronger illumination.

Had to test it via the heater control panel 12V connector; there seems to be a problem with my ashtray power...

Have sent my original back and having my spare modded, too, now.

Many thanks Tiago. Good work, mate.

I have one, too. Mine's in Cambridge.

I have rear beam, subframe and front cross member all from a VR6. They're in Cambridge.

You'd do better polymer coating them if the plan is preservation.

Looks good. Well worth doing.

BTW which heater controls have you got there? Aircon?

It's calling for me, too, but I'm trying not to listen...

Didn't realise the late ashtray and fag lighter don't fit the early centre dash frame, so I'll Paypal another £13 for these, please.

Dash centre frame and heater control fascia received safely this morning, thanks. Brilliant packaging.

PM'd you

VT race, not the fast road, front with other VTs and polybushed all round I have no vibration at all, just a very solid feeling VR6.

Engine damper looks like a way to go for big power.

Speaking from my own experience, the 268s are wilder, to the detriment of idle quality when the engine gets hot. The 263s have ny on the same top end pull but the idle is always butter smooth.

I'll stick with my 263s and standard valaves then.

How do these compare with 263s?

Mine arrived this morning.

Many thanks Matt.

Thanks both for the heads up and the caveat.

Sounds interesting. I'll take it.

Please PM details for payment.

I have some pretty good nick black leather Recaro's. If u do ever decide on a possible swap keep me in mind, always fancied cloth Recaro's!!

If you are open to persuasion to a straight sale, please let me know, I'm very interested.

How much for the heater box unit, controls and matrix posted?

I've got standard Corrado seats which I find are a bit high. If it's not a stupid question, is it possible to lower them without losing adjustment?

Do you know the part no? I could look it up.

BTW I want to swap my late heater control for the early version and I've sourced an early centre dash plastic frame to house the early control unit when I find one.

Will I need to change the whole matrix as well or can I just connect the belden cables from the late control to the early control with maybe a bit of modding and keep my late matrix, which is relatively new?

I'll take the heater control knobs and sliders, please. PM your payment details for the £5.

Is the heater control panel fascia for £12 just the plastic front plate, or does anything else come with it? If it includes the controls, I'll take it.
