Newtronics - Autocar

Post by bpeck27 »

Can any of you guys in the U.K. tell me what's going on with Autocar? I'm all set to buy a Newtronics ignition system for my GT550, but now their website isn't working and they don't reply to my emails. Are they still in business? If not, I might want to consider another system.

Don't know why you're bothering. Points are fine on the 550.
They worked ok on my J in 1972, and on the K and A now.

But if you insist - Clicky linky
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Autocar also doesn’t have anything for sale under their eBay account. Last feedback they got was over 90 days ago.

Accent sells a good alternative. Reasonable priced. Its self contained & doesn’t have a external control box.
Their website doesn’t list the GT550, but they do sell them.
They don’t have much of a website. Use email to contact them or place an order.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'd like to investigate the Accent and Powerdynamo systems, but I don't speak German!
