Sometimes they are cheaper you just have to wait for them.
Also if you have a look at this picture.

Has anyone else noticed this difference in the long tail caps as well
Cheers Paul.

paul...that cap on the left was a reproduction from the 90s ..also note the clips that hold it on arent the same shape...

Thanks Oz.
I suspected this might be the case and its good to have it confirmed.
Cheers Paul.

paul,i know rares sold them but i dont know who made them as i wasnt much interested in that repro to genuine stuff differences back then...from memory the stickers were also slightly different....

just out of interest do you have any pics of the original 1971 gts centre caps?..basically first few months of production only...if not ill put some up.

I thought that the loins looked a little bit different when I looked at them last night
but I put it down to the bad lighting at the time.
No I don't have any pictures of the early ones.
I have been told about them but I have never seen one.
I would be interested to see just what they look like.
Cheers Paul.
