What model is this off then?









It doesn’t look to have been modified...

Looks like my 1500 subframe, unless I'm missing something?

1500 auto

Since when have 1500s had twin bolted mounts at the front of the engine?

Same shape mount as the 1850, two bolts to the subframe, one to the donk.

Could have sworn they were single bolt, both sides...must be age catching up with me...or the drugs...or both!

Question is then, where did I get it from??? I've had it sitting in my yard since goodness knows when on the misapprehension it was Sprint!

Anyone need a 1500 subframe?

Its only for the 1500 Auto, the subframe for a 1500 manual as the extra A shape at the rear to take the gearbox mount doesn't it?

Only just seen this, Jod and Julian are perfectly correct, it's a 1500 Auto subframe and unique to that model. I have one just like it lying around in my yard from the white car I broke last year. I'd not seen one before that turned up either! I'll take it off your hands if you like, it's one I can safely cut about for my Vauxhall conversions and it'll never be missed by someone needing a slant frame.

Yes it does, quite right.

Also suitable for 1500 O/D, even though they usually have the triangular extension which isn't actually needed with the overdrive gearbox.

I would take it as a spare if nearer or if i get down that way some time soon.
