Thanks for the reassurance Tim,

You're right, my picture is a reverse negative scanned from a classic car mag.
You can cut the Triumph guy's 14" blades down for your two seater but sadly Plus Two people need 15" ones.

Best wishes,

Si

Hi

I felt a bit better when I watched Ebay Item number: 250190248051 end.

It was a pair of 14 inch Speedblades listed as for a Mk1 Escort, they sold for ?71.99 :o :o :o

Anyone looking for evidence that the late S130 cars had speedblades as standard may be interested that Peter Day's exacting restoration of OKN 551M (the late '74 bronze/tawny car previously on sale at Paul Matty's) has them fitted as does originality guru Ken Myers' blue S130/5 restoration RPC 409R.
Perhaps we can now all sleep better in our anoraks - I know I can :D
