Looks quite interesting to me.
The fact that the steering wheel is on the wrong side wouldn't bother me here on the continent but I still haven't seen a price or a region in which one has to make his offer.
If I were to buy it I would store it along side the other niceties I've got.

The reason it never materialised was that the Coventry based company that was supposed to convert the tintops (in Holland) went belly up the week before the Convertible was to be launched in Holland in 91. :badmood: Believe me, all the promotional stuff was in the showrooms, the press had driven the...

BTW: Going through a heap of spares last Saturday I came across a brand new door panel identical to yours.

What you can perhaps do is, if the older style holes are still in your door, fit the old style clips.

Even according to the m...

Those are indeed the US partnumbers.
I tried ordering them a decade ago but got the reply from the Belgian importer that I should stop inventing partnumbers..
