Just finifshed restoring my 1981 MP Lafer. Had several parts missing but was able to source everything I needed in Brazil. It is like new now. What an awesome car.
The nice thing about the MP Lafer is that it is a factory built car. Lafer would buy chassis/engine combos (new) from VW and factory assemble the car. It actually has prettier lines than the MG. You may be able to find one by contacting our MP USA Club president at ifrinn@bellsouth.net, mplaferclube@bellsouth.net…he may have some good leads.
It is easy to find every part you need for your MP in Brazil…unfortunately not as easy here in the States. (If you can handle Portuguese) Toninho, or Tony is your best source. His numbers are (011-5511) 4352-0901 – shop or (011-5511) 9540-6788 cel. Good luck!
