Hi Guys,

1 Rear hatch colour doesn't matter
2 Glove box lid (grey)
3 passenger side NS dash wood trim
4 Center council (gear-lever) wood trim manual car
5 Sunroof complete if possible

Probably need more as I go along

What area are you in Jon and can i ask why you need the rear hatch? Is it because the glass has gone or the metal has gone?

If it's any use to you i have a Mk1 Vitesse hatch rear spoiler :

Might be able to help with the sunroof (electric) and possibly the centre console and dash wood trim, glovebox not sure but maybe and i have some other odd bits of grey trim floating about.

Let me know if any of that is any use? :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Many thanks

Jon

That's not a Vitesse spoiler. :wink: Just a regular MK1 spoiler.

I'll have a look over the weekend, a tailgate is going to be hard to come by though! Hampshire isn't too far away in the great scheme of things, i'd be unhappy about sending the sunroof via a courier and not sure they'd take it because of the size.

It came from a car that was meant to be a Vitesse Chris, perhaps it also had a tailgate change at some point in its life. :?: As i've not owned a Mk1 Vitesse other than that one which was a scrapper, i naturally thought it was a Mk1 Vitty fastback spoiler. :wink: :D

All vitesse cars mk1 or 2 carried a twin deck spoiler. The earlier mk1 was a soft feel spoiler which was essentially polyurethane over a metal shaped frame. They then went to a blow moulded type because of cracking of paint on the ears along with indentations on the top along and the fact there bloody heavy. The other fastback models mk1 had the single deck as you've shown here and were manufactured by STMP in France and the UK. Mk2 had twin deck which was two separate pieces screwed together which was carried over from the mk1c vitesse.

This material was then adopted for most spoilers you see on cars even today because it is Lightweight and cheap which doesn't deform.

As above on the spoiler Jon, i thought it was a Vitesse one but obviously not. :oops: Sorry if you were misled. However it's there if you want it, i'll check the sunroof situation over the weekend and dig out whatever i have in the way of grey and wood trim, think i have an early Mk2 827 manual gear lever wood trim which should be the same as the Mk1 and a front parcel shelf wood trim. You may have to sand and revarnish them to get rid of the milkiness on one or more of them though.

I'll have a dig through and PM you with some prices. :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave
