[Roadsters] My new 68' 2000 with Solex.

[Tom Hendricksen]

Congratulations Pascal.  I have owned 3 2000's now and enjoyed each one.

As to which carburetors came on your car, take a look at the aluminum 
information plate you will find on top of the firewall when you open the 
hood.  That plate will tell you what horsepower rating the car had when 
it left the factory.  135 HP would indicate SU carburetors.  150 HP 
tells you your car came with Mikuni's.  It also tells you your car came 
with a "B" camshaft, which is different from the cam supplied with SU 
carburetors.

Coker Tire can supply you with just about any type of tire you want.  
They specialize in supplying tires to the owners of classic and restored 
vehicles.  Over the years they have purchased the molds from tire 
manufacturers as tire models are removed from the market. A Coker tire 
may look like the bias ply tire that came on your car, but may be a 
modern radial inside.  Their web site is: http://www.cokertire.com/

If you visit www.311s.org you will find a lot of information on their 
Wiki pages, and there is a registration page where you can register your 
cars by VIN number.  If your cars have been registered there before you 
may be able to find a previous owner.

Welcome to the club, and enjoy the ride.  These cars are a lot of fun.
