Good news,

Spoke to the owner of www.barchettaparts.com today and he is happy to offer all FF members 10% if they spend over 25 euro on used parts, or 100 euro on new parts.

They have also provided a list of shipping prices:-
0-2 kilo € 12,75
2-5 kilo € 18,95
5- 10 kilo € 24,75
10 - 20 kilo € 33,25
20 - 30 kilo € 39,75

The owner himself is a member of the Dutch Barchetta club.

Hey Alan,

This is just great news. I've been in contact with Henk from B parts (the owner I presume?) about purchasing a hardtop. Thankfully he has some available. He's made me an offer of 900 eur inclusive of spraying it black. However, it's 500 eur to ship it to Finland if I understood him correctly.... Eeeeekkkk.

Anyway, what ya think of this deal? It's not a wiesmann HT.

I'll be happy to have the 10% discount too. I'll likely buy some more parts from him while I'm at it (e.g. New heat shield).

By the way guys, do you know if there are any good Barchetta maintenance guides available? I'd like to be able to fix minor issues myself.

Cheers,
MeRv

Shipping sounds expensive, may be worth while organising your own courier service. 900 euros isn't that expensive if they are going to spray it for you as well. But with 10% makes it 810 Henk says he's the owner so assume so...

Re service there is nothing like the haynes manuals but there are a few of the electronic manuals available on ebay but don't know how good they are ?

To be honest between all of the members here I can't think of a job that someone wont be able to help you with although you can still do it yourself. Also use the search function and there is already lots of information on here.

Well done Alan

I take it that you don't have the service manual, merv? If so, you can download it from here.

Thanks Alan. top job

Excellent Al, great work!

well done AL could have done it before i forked out for electric mirrors of him LOL, but will come in for next time
