Hello everyone, I cracked I bought a new rapier last week ...
It is 1969, France origin with the No. B342 002 742 colour code 129/ Golden sand ... It has almost no rust but the engine need complete restoration... It is manual transmission with servo brake ....
here the rest to follow soon ...
I'm looking for the camshaft stop .... is anyone has one to sell me??
Thank you and see you soon

Hi Didier.... looks a nice car you have there. I've probably got one from a block I stripped a couple of years back. If I can find it you can have it for the cost of sending it. I'll take a look and get back to you.

Hi Didier......

Found it.....



Looks ok but there is a little scoring around the inner surface.

Yes, that looks a good original example. I've had a couple of Golden Sand ones - be good to see it alongside my LHD one, one day . See it looks like you are sorted on the cam stop - great. All the best. G.
