SiC Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I wouldn't say it's the ultimate sports car. And we've had the Elise switchgear mentioned at least 4 times in here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The Hella 4169. Used on everything from the Diablo, Saleen S7 and Pagani Zonda, to the Ford Th!nk City, and Alexander Dennis bus bodies. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Indicator and sidelight assembly from a final edition Audi 80 Cabriolet are the same as a Porsche 993. Sun visor vanity mirrors on a Rover 75 are the same as a Mini R56. Mk1 MCW Metroriders use Ford Cortina MK4 headlights and indicators, together with Escort MK3 Cabriolet rear lamps.

motorpunk Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I liked that the wing mirror on my 968 is the same as the 959. I was sort of a supercar (part) owner! The door handle lever was clearly from a poxy Mk2 Golf, mind. dome and bangernomics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Bus and coach builders are habitual parts bin offenders, especially when it comes to lighting. Here's a few off the top of my head: Optare StarRider: Mk3 Granada headlights, and (upsidedown) rearlights on the coach versions. MCW Metrorider: Mk3 Escort estate rearlights. Early Berkhof coaches: Saab 900 headlights. Alexander N-type: Hillman Hunter headlights. Indcar Maxim: Calibra headlights and Fiat Brava rearlights. Sitcar Beluga: Merc M-class headlights.

MorrisItalSLX Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Toyota have been using this door handle for years. It was on many models in the 1980s, 1990s and continues to be fitted to brand new 70 Series Land Cruisers (which in itself is a design from the 80s that still lives on today). chaseracer, lesapandre, bangernomics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 These Bristols with Bedford CF2 tail lights are the absolute pits in automotive parts borrowing, I reckon: A close second is the Mini headlights on Morgan Aero 8, although my brain is slowly coming to accept those.
