Seeking a source for NEW parts for my 1974 100LS

Teach · 25-07-08, 02:22 PM

I am very thorough about storing spare parts for my cars, and I have most everything I could ever need, but there are still a few things I would like to find for my 1974 100LS. I would also like to find a source in case I find a two-door 100LS that just begs me to restore it!

I have a few sources for common items, and a few private parties like me who have stockpiled parts, but they tend to cost a lot of $, if they are even willing to sell.

Are there any sources in the UK for hard to find 100LS parts?

Thanks in advance.

You will be fortunate I'm afraid! As you say most people with these series 1 100's have their own stock of important items. In Germany there are a number of dealers with NOS or repro parts as the values are creeping up. You could spend a very long time looking around autojumbles etc in the uk before finding anything.
I usually go over to the giant Mannheim jumble in Germany once a year and normally pick up the odd bit, but with the strong euro this is getting really expensive.
I brought out a guy about 5 years ago who had brought out an old VW/Audi/NSU dealer and wasn't interested in the Audi/NSU stuff, most of the stuff I sold back to Germany because there was just not the demand for it in the UK. There was a great amount of body parts etc incl 20 bonnets, coupe doors etc etc all NOS (probably more bonnets than there were cars on the road at the time!)
You won't find anything through VW as all the C1 stuff was landfilled when they moved to Milton Keynes and they do not keep dealer returned stock (I used to work for Audi in MK)
So keep your ear to the ground and make best use of websites like this!! I'm sure between us we can keep our cars on the road!

There's a chap called Jeremy Batch in Norwich (England) who does have a large stash of parts for ealy 100's.
He's helped out a couple of people on here with bits of late.
He's restoring a 100 Coupe S as well which shouldn't be too far from being finished!

He's not, I doubt very much he's ever used a computer. Proper old skool guy! Really nice and loves his early 100's

I'll pm you his number.
