Stage 1 V8 grille is much nicer - in fact I always thought that it was the best front-end look since the slab front arrived on the scene.

I've been looking out for a Stage 1 V8 grille for ages, shame they're like rocking horse poop (or outrageously expensive)! Anyone have one for sale?

You'd need a standard grille surround as well, but at least it keeps the original parts intact.


Thumbs Up looks great.

That looks lovely - exactly the sort of thing I would love to have. Where can you buy these?

As said previously very hard to find. A company called Pegasus get groups of people to put money down and when they have enough orders will remanufacture them.

See here www.pegasusparts.co.uk/ourshop_90073/prod_...cheme.html

They only need 3 orders. I will put my order in I think. They are lovely.

Must admit I think Pegasus would be a good route - I got my (NOS) one from eBay, but they don't come up very often...

I seem to be the odd one out, I really like the look of the new heritage grill!
The lack of the badge plinth gives it a cleaner look and if it was in a darker colour, I think it would look less bulky. Hoping to get hold of one and get it painted Santorini to put on my 90.

Does anyone know if these are being manufactured for sale yet?

When I asked the same question some weeks ago I was advised that they'll only be sold to bona fide owners of Heritage vehicles and the sale will involve a VIN check.

Would the Pegasus V8 grill fit on a Heritage with air conditioning? Nick

How are there no holes for where the standard grill screwed in?

Yep - filled and painted.

I think the Pegasus grille would fit a Heritage if a 'standard' air-con grille surround was also fitted at the same time (easy screw on job)...

For info, I have just bitten the proverbial bullet and ordered a Pegasus grill. Those of you here who have done likewise may be pleased to know that at the start of my order placing activity there was only one further grill needed to start manufacture, so hopefully now there are sufficient for Pegasus to proceed!

Steve R, can you tell me where you bought the panels you've used round your headlights - not the actual S3-type headlight bezel thingies but the ones that cover the rectangular hole for the horns? Thanks.

I was told that when I bought a second set of SVX alloys. Strangely you can now buy them and the Recaro seats. I give it a year before you can buy them.

No problem - they are made by Entreq (bought from 4x4 Overlander on here):

Top quality bit of kit... Thumbs Up
