John Boggis SIV pics

about 6 yrs ago John Boggis posted a link to a set of photos of his pristine, very near original, SIV. Does anyone still have that link and does it work? Or any other link to those pics? Has anyone heard of or from John Boggis lately? His last activity on this site was May 2011.

I read and then went back and read again, thinking my mind was gone!

Initially when I had gone to the prior link I made a comment that "A Very nice BW35"..... When the "new" link was posted I went back and read it too! Discovered the title of the display for the Nice Automatic Alpine is not in agreement with the later description such as type transmission - manual....

Was it an Automatic with the BW35 or a manual ?

Sure would like to think it was a BW35.....

Johns car was a bw35 from factory. It was when he owned it as well.

Iirc the owner before john had done a few changes over the years but kept everything and it was reinstalled.

Cant recall if they swaped the trans at any point... But the trans mounts are different between auto and manual as are the shifter opening.. You can put a manual in an auto more easily ans reversibly than the other way.
