EXU bumpers

[Frank O_ The Mountain]

Folks, my pal and your hero, old Nigel Shiftright himself (Phil Frank) is searching for a pair of original EXU bumpers for his TC. I know this is a tall order but if you can help, even with front or rear, please let me know and I'll pass the word.....unfortunately Nigel is something of a Luddite. Tnx Terry

Dear Terry; Is that original Luddite or Neo- Luddite. Tally Ho! Thom Collins

I think the EXU bumpers and overriders are exactly the same as those used a little earlier on the YT and then after EXU production on the YB. The overriders were also used on the Ford Prefect but have no idea as to whether the Prefect bumpers were also the same. Not a lot of help if you are looking for originals but Jim Sullivan of this list had some overriders cast in bronze and might be persuaded to do so again if there is any demand. Terry

I have heard that the bumpers themselves are almost identical to a Morris Minor

I've seen EXU bumpers on eBay a couple times in the last few months. I'm sure they'll appear again, soon. Bob

Nay- Especially the rear, with the cast "MG" medallian in the center. Regards, Mark TC8126 EXU

A friend of mine is thinking of buying an original EXU but the bumpers and mounting hardware are missing. He is reluctant to buy the car because of the availability of the EXU bumpers. I told him I would put a note on the "list". Do any of the list members have or know where one could find EXU front and rear bumpers with the mounting irons?

I have the complete and correct rear bumper. But no front bumper at all. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
