Due to a little accident damage; need some parts for what was my pristine 131 racing !

We were on an organised Mystery Tour in Hampshire following a Tulip Map Route.

The roads had been closed, the council were aware, our MSA permit was in place and all the residents on the route were advised, yet some mother 'you know what' with no insurance thought he knew better and came round a 90 degree corner at speed the opposite way into me.  And for why ?  To save himself a 5 minute diversion which would have put him on an "A" road with the possibility of getting caught on a police ANPR camera for not having insurance.  Thankfully, he is solvent and I'm taking him to the cleaners.

Despite the incident 2 minutes into the event, we carried on and still drove it like we stole it with happy faces...

So any help in sourcing the following parts please...
I have found some items, but need the following;

OSF WING
OSF WING MOULDING AND FITTINGS
OSF WING ARCH AND FITTINGS
GRILLE PANEL
FRONT PANEL
FRONT SPOILER

A little sympathy required...

Sad to see. :'( >:( I hope nobody in your car was injured.

Sorry, I can't help you with any parts as other than my Stradale all my 131s are four door, but I think you mean OSF panels, not NSF, as looking at the photo it's the off side of your car that appears to be damaged.

I think you'll struggle to find the correct colour coded trim in the UK, but you might be lucky. Probably have to settle for black and then get the parts sprayed. Also, make sure that you get the correct front wing as the Sport/Racing wing has a different profile to the standard cooking saloon and estate cars.

Looks like that will be an expensive repair for what looks like a small knock. Hope you get the cash out of the 'individual'!!

Where in Hampshire was the run you were on? I live in Hampshire and would be interested to learn more about it for next year - perhaps we could enter a 131 'team'. 8)

No one hurt; the tracker showed I was doing 8mph when I was hit; my nephew was in the front and my son was in the back and they were fine.

I copied and pasted the engineer's parts list !  Yes, it's offside ! Amazing how an engineer got that wrong on his report !
And I am twat I am for not noticing !

I've got the paint codes, so painting the colour coded trims are not a problem.

I have no doubt I will get the money; the car is insured as part of my private fleet collection and the underwriters are not arguing from the outset and have already agreed the ?4k estimate plus they said I should source the parts as they are NLA and they would reimburse me.  Last accident when someone went into me eventually cost the 3rd party over ?7000 for a ?1500 repair because the day to day insurer thought they could get one of my rare cars repaired on their network.  Caught them driving it at 155mph on the dashcam and tracker (and I left a courtesy note to let them know the car had cctv and a tracker).

This event is every year - normally in May - when the 3MA is one...

Sorry to hear about that incident Perry and good luck sourcing the parts. Ele (Ricambi Storici) should be able to help with most items I'd say....plus Ebay Italia.

Strange thing is ...the car still looks stunning...and dramatic with the latest "modification"! Still a bit of a sickener though....can't remember if we've seen a crash damaged 131 on here since they acquired classic status.

Hi I have all the parts you require. I've sent you a pm.
