classic cars

[Keith Dewart]

I have 2 questions that I need assistance, firstly I am trying to source here in Thailand a non-dexron automatic transmission fluid for use in my 1974 triumph stag which has a borg warner 35 automatic gearbox. Any ideas on where I can get or can anyone advise on a good alternative product?

Secondly I need an insurance company who will insure classic cars here in Thailand.

Castrol products are sold in many outlets (more so than Mobil). Search the outlets in your area. You'll probably need to order it from an accommodating outlet though. It's a Ford spec oil, so, you could try there also. Other brands will meet the Ford specification and the ATF-G spec too.

 

Take a photo of the stag (or the car itself) with you when you search. There are car guys out there who will be more accommodating when they see why you're asking.

 

The major insurance companies offer individual policies at a price. They do insure expensive marques after all. But, you'll need to deal with an office that's away from the Ozarks. Insuring the stag for the value you would place on it, could be cost prohibitive though. I just use 3rd party  for my old stuff. 

 

Happy hunting.

is it a Rover V8 replacement engine, they have Type 35 auto, not OE on a Stag  i think,could be wrong. Jags have 35 too.

Earlier stags had the 35. Later ones used the 65, mostly for the US market, I think.
