Well Steve, I just went to the garage and thought I could put my hand
quickly on the end flap from the shock carton...I was wrong.
Anyway they were UK-made Monroes and designed to be coil-overs. The
finish on them was pretty good, so I used some Nyalik clear coat on
them to try to preserve them a little longer. I got them from Gene Bird
At Classic Motor Works in Johnstown PA(814)288-6911. I bought them in
1993 and they cost $64 each. The part number from the invoice is 15086.
Another topic. TVRCCNA. If you dont belong you probably ought to. They
have a book listed as a Vixen parts manual for6.95. I dont have it but I
ought to. I have a photo copy of an M parts book that I got years ago.
They have one of those listed too for $29.95.
Hope at least some of this is helpful
