I had one of those Mk1 Celicas a long time ago. Bought it for £200 and ran it for a year. Loved the pillarless side windows, and it had a decent turn of speed with a great mid range compared to the other cars I had owned up to that point. I still love the shape and the interior.767Geoff wrote:That speedmaster is a must have! I lost in a bidding war for one, the case design is iconic!
I do have a 186.0003 case which was non working and cost 90 Canadian dollars. Corrosion in the battery hatch had broken a battery tab. Using a fiberglass pen and some DeOxit gold plus a really quick cleaning and some tin foil proved the module works so yeah!
Still, looking for a speedmaster pro case like yours!
My 1974 celica purchased in 1975 and under going a ground up restoration, not a Lamborghini but it is my first car. What is with us and restorations?
Here it is today with the body work finished, zero rust, epoxy sealed, lead work, no bondo or putty. Now to find time to fill it with the rebuilt clock and NOS parts I have collected over the years.
The trunk detail down to the refinished factory welds, all new metal to the left and right of the tub. Has to be done to better then factory for me!
Here it is in 75,
And in 2005 when I took it off the road for a complete resto at 330,000 miles!
The engine instruments before the Reno. It will be light burled walnut (real veneer) all the way through to the back deck.
Oh and the clock is electrodynamic with balance, love the ticking!
Cheers, Geoff
P.s. Any one got a spare speedmaster case with no movement?
