There is now only one brand new black powder-coated Costello eggbox grille remaining for sale. These grilles have proved to be very popular with Costello owners helping a lot of our cars revert to their original look with this eye-catching frontage piece.
Drop Lawrence a line if you would like the last grille. Of course, you need to have a Costello car before you can buy the Costello grille... :)

We were not aware of any Costello for sale requiring restoration. So if this is indeed the case this is exciting news. Perhaps you could take some pictures of the engine bay and send to me at the email address supplied on this website. We can then verify whether your car is a Costello version or not. The Costello charateristics to look out for are described on the technical pages of the website.
Regards
Lawrence W.

I am a farmer with low computer skills so finding your site was a feat. The car was not advertised i saw it in the next village under a tarp, the owners had owned it for many years and bought it through a garage. I have a private collection of over a 100 cars mostly restos and hope to open a museum soon. A photo and downloading it will never happen but would love to know what to look for and i will let you know. Please visit if in glos or herefordshire mark

We own an MGB GT V8 Costello mk.1 1971 which we have owned for 28yrs.(tartan red)
We have had various work done to the car over the years, but one thing we would be pleased to trace and purchase would be an original eggbox grille, so if you can be of any help in this enquiry we would be pleased to hear from you. Look forward to your reply. |
How much for the egg box grill or will you sell the whole car mark 07540876946 Sent from my iPhone

Hello Richard,
Could you dro pme a line at lolwood@yahoo.co.uk and tell me more about your car? We'd love to include you/it on the website as this is one the Costello community was not aware of - being a MkI its pretty rare too.
Should you require a grille I can always get another set manufactured. I'll talk to the metalworkshop and see what they can do for us.
Hear from you soon hopefully.
Lawrence Wood.
