Big thanks to @Zelandeth @LightBulbFun and @Six-cylinder for the various items and arrangements! Ah awesome to see everything's arrived/in place (I did realise a few days ago that the fuel filters had fallen off the "bits to order" list somewhat happy to see you remembered to order them ) very much looking forward to tomorrow and sunday dont forget to bring tools! (and a new throttle grip for REV from the spare parts stash, ill also bring my spare parts sheet with me that tells me what parts are in what box incase we need to run to the parts stash and raid it like last time) Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 When I told the headmaster of the Visa forum I had found a Visa Twin pot I particularly liked because it was the updated front with the satellite switch gear he told me there were only three left in the UK like that and I had better get it bought! I am not planning to sell it. egg, 500tops and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Quite right. French ones with CT seem to be between €750-€2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs6C Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This twin-pot has a stylised outline of Concorde down each side as well, which is an unusual decal. I would like to find out more about that. Citroen and Air France had a special tie-in with Concorde for the CX and started to build a special edition of the GTi Turbo to commemorate 10 years of supersonic flight... but the order was cancelled part-way through and only a few were completed... https://www.artebellum.com/en/articles/6929-citroen-cx-gti-turbo-concorde-auction-highlight richardmorris, egg and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is a French one for sale at the moment I think looks good for €1300 on the Visa FB group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/197837136910781/?ref=br_rs Add - Anybody wanting to collect a Visa from Europe I will give them a lift, like I did for Hairnet.
