Dear Morgan +4 friends,
At the moment I have 2 sets of 42mm DCOE Weber carburators for sale. The carburators are including the original trumpets! On top of that: the complete set of typical Lawrence Tune linkage.
If you are interested, please phone me: 00 31 6 41776237 or mail me: machielkalf@ziggo.nl
Hope that I can make someone very happy with this fantastic set of history,
Machiel Kalf.

Re: 42mm DCOE Webers
Dear Morgan +4 friends,
To be honest, I am very surprised........... someone came to me and offered me €2400,- for the 42mm Webers DCOE's.
This gentleman told me that he has been to Italy to the most important classic car fair. The Italians told him that 42mm Webers are VERY rare and not for sale any more!
I think this was what we call a moment of learning!
Best regards, Machiel Kalf.

Re: 42mm DCOE Webers
Hallo Andy,
The point is that, as far as I know there are just 2 cars that left the factory with the 42DCOE's: Maserati 3500 and the Morgan +4SS. The Maserati 3500 is very polulair at the moment. There's just one problem: a lot of those cars have Lucas injection systems. They like to remove that system and replace it with the 42 Webers. That gives the "tension" on the market for this type of Webers.
I still have the original Lawrence Tune linkage. I think I put it in a show case with all kind of LT items. Nobody likes to do an offer.
Best regards,
Machiel.

Machiel,
I run 42DCOE's on RU with its 1991cc engine and to acquire these I had to send Catherine who a huge bag of cash to a secret rendezvous for the exchange before all the other interested parties from across Europe could gazump me! As Bill Wykeham says, we should start to view these and Moss boxes as fine wines as there is a diminishing supply.
So, maybe your LT display should kept under lock & key!
Cheers,

Re: 42mm DCOE Webers
Andy, would 50mm's work on a TR engined car?
I run 45mm's - maximum within homologation.
But a friend who races a big Healey was surprised about 50mm's on his Healey.....gained him 3 seconds a lap at Spa.....
So might be an idea for non App K events....

Re: 42mm DCOE Webers
Hallo John!
Good to hear from you! Yes, I think we have to be very careful with all this "stuff" that was once for sale on every corner of the street. But, in modern times it's all gone.
It's a good feeling to have the special items in stock, ha, ha....
For example: if you take part in a concours, you need the original Lucas parts, like a coil, distributor cap etc. In the past they where easy to find. But today, an original distributor cap, with the brandname "Lucas" on it is hard to cath. You see the same problem with the original Lucas "Sport Coil". On most cars they use the "gold colour" coil. Of course they work very well, but how ugly it looks...........
Anyway, it makes the hobby very interesting.
Enjoy your weekend, Machiel.
