My 1978 Wood and Pickett has been in storage for the last 17yrs and at some point the front grille and lights have been stolen. I've been trying to find a replacement for a while as it doesnt look as nice with the standard Clubman grille/lights. The toe-rags also damaged the 1/4 light window latch, which I guess will be even more fun to track down.

Try asking w&p for advice. Once parts are established you are probably looking at an autojumble to source.

Off hand I think the grille/headlight assembly was Vauxhall based from a Victor or Ventora maybe?
Quarterlights possibly Innocenti?



Good Luck.

Likeminifunclub said the grille came from a vauxhall
a Victor FD like this one



They were cut down so if you cant find a proper Wood and Picket one try and find a Victor FD and cut it down

Oh my dad owned one of those back in the early 70's, in green though.

I think you'll have trouble locating a spare grille today?

[Joloke08]

Even the Victors are virtually impossible to find thesedays
If you find one with a good grille it would probably be better buying the whole car

Either Way buying a Genuine Wood n Pickett Grille or even buying a full length Victor one isnt going to be cheap

You could try this site? Its a long shot but gotta Worth a Try?

i had a '70 w+p clubman (when w+p turned out nice cars) pretty certain mine had a P6 grille.
can't remember for sure was about 25 years ago !!

I know that GC Mini's in Swanley have a Wood & Pickett Mini Margrave (whatever that is).

Could be useful if you need to see one in person to measure etc.. CLICK

Will have to join the Vauxhall Victor FD forum now I guess

[DarrenW]

There are victor or ventora based for certain.

I have a spare one, if you are interested. They are not cheap sadly.

PM me if you are interested.

It's a drag car with road legal tyres, there's a few others as well - run in the Street Machine, (I think), class at Santa Pod, the cars have to run on normal pump unleaded so they all go on a cruise on the Saturday evening, (after qualifying), to fill up, then run the finals on Sunday on the same pump fuel.
