Trouble is the Aero is so special it’s hard to part with😩

Kevin, I've just used Sticky Fingers to make me some bespoke Minilight centre cap logos, the end product was spot on (the website is a bit cr*p) but if you send them an enquiry via the online form they will respond http://www.stickyfingersdecals.com/contactus.html

Thanks for all your comments Gents, this is giving me a good picture.
With the TVR it was fun sourcing parts but I did not really need a lot as
It was an uncomplicated car. I know that there is only a couple hands full built of the Aero 8
and I was not expecting to get parts at every corner but I am a little bit afraid that this could evolve to a headache.

I have a 1938 NSU motorcycle and the restoration was not any Problem at all. Company is not existing for years but parts
Are available. Not talking about old Porsches and Corvettes, all available but of course built in thousands.
One of my tractors as mentioned only a few produced but parts are all obtainable even for a terrifiying price.

Does that mean if you have a light accident with an Aero 8 S1 that a repair could be a problem.
Just hesitating a little bit. The car I wanted to take a look at seems right now to have a problem with the fan what they are
Trying to fix.

BTW your tractor is not one of these is it?

Hello Richard, I tried to figure out how to post a picture but looks like it has to have a URL and copy paste is not possible.

Therefore let me just say it is not this kind of tractor. I just took a "Rasant Kombi Trak" apart.
It is a Mountain Tractor with capabilities to go on steep slopes.
