Here is my "Me Too!"
I was at an All British show and spent a long time looking at the fender
vents on an Ashton Martin. Large mail-slot shape with a chrome bar
accross it to keep out birds and squrriels. I was wondering if anyone
stocks replacement vents for an A-M as it looked to be perfect for my
C/GT.
But I was probably looking at the wrong marquee. The installation of A-M
vents could double the cost of my car, I suppose.
