So, this morning I popped down to see Greg at Heritage as he ordered me in some platinum white bulbs (PIAA COMPETITION H.I.D 4100K, H1 12V 55W > 110W) to replace the original standard ones in my headlights (for both the low and high beam). These PIAA bulbs do not need any HID or Xenon components and utilize the original lighting electronics so can simply swap in, which makes life very easy. Not cheap at 30 pounds each, but the difference is remarkable - replacing the dull yellow colour with a clean, crisp, intense white light for a modern look.
And, I ought to mention the collection of cars he had in. Unbelievable. I thought I had died and gone to Porsche heaven. A Singer (one of only two in the country), a Porsche GT (you don't see those much), a 993 RS (yummy) and the piece de resistance was an immaculate Guard’s Red 959, and not any old 959 but a Sport - as rare as rocking horse shit - only 29 ever made and this might just be the best example in existence, given it's sublime condition and super low mileage. Greg hazarded a guess that those four cars alone have a collective value of over 2 million great british pounds. And when casually asked by him which one of would have, given the chance, I really didn’t know how to answer - I guess that’s because I secretly wanted to have them all!
Thanks Greg for sorting the bulbs and for the private view.
