Greg,
I am interested in a set for a 411 S3, 410 and at least one of my 401/403's though perhaps not all at once!
Can you send me further details.
Thanks,
Geoff.

Thanks for the interest Geoff - I guessed a few people would need them, but there has been more interest than expected !

I guess the bumpers on my 411 S1 are the only part I can say that is better than a 411 S6 :-)

I hope you like the USA spec rear indicator lenses ! The MOT man doesn't seem to mind and I think they look good with the silver metallic.

Thanks to a generous Bristol 400 owner , I now have a good set of original bumpers to create the tooling for the later 400 bumpers in stainless steel. I would guess that these will be available in around 10 to 12 weeks , following prototypes and trial fitting.

A reasonably good set of 405 bumpers would be a big help if anyone can spare them for tooling purposes ? -- corrosion is not a problem

Thanks again to all that have ordered / purchased bumpers so far and the encouraging comments regarding the high quality, looks and fit ( good to know the no compromise approach paid off ! ). The next batch will be delivered in around 7 weeks, so if anyone wants to reserve / order a set of new 400 to 603 S2 bumpers, please let me know as soon as possible.

So far , I have only had a couple of enquiries from the U.S.A. and one for Australasia -- I guess this could be down to the amount of salt thrown on the roads in the U.K. that the British government use to keep the car industry moving by destroying our cars ! :-)

I am also having some of the stainless steel coachwork / body strips re made for my 411 - let me know if anyone else needs some. Or if another source is available.

Many thanks

On another matter, my favourite tyre for the 411 ( Pirelli P4000 ), now seems to be unavailable and the other sizes available are wrong. Does anyone have a source for a quality 205 to 215 tyres at a full aspect ratio ?

Or is it something that needs looking into for people that want the cars as original as possible ?.

Maybe something that Jag owners are aware of due to the shared wheel and tyre sizes ?

I just prefer the look of the original steel wheel with the narrower tyre.

Unlike Stainless Steel bumper manufacturing ( 30 plus years in metals business ), I know nothing about tyre production or the tooling costs involved.
