Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
Mine is rusty inside, BRG ideally but obviously I'd be OK with a decent other colour.
Thanks
Ian

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
You could try https://www.sterlingfixer.com/ Ian, the S&H (American for P&P) is going to be £OUCH! though.
Had a look on fleabay, no tailgates (Mk1 OR 2) to be seen, Rimmers don't even have a listing for a Mk1 tailgate, allbrit.de only have listings for Mk2, only other option might be Best of British Rover in Darlaston :
http://www.ebaystores.com/Best-of-British-Rover-Spares
They only seem to have the ebay shop as an "all purpose website" but their contact details are on there, give them a call or email. Expect to pay for the glass as well, it's not transferable (unless you're very lucky!) and the glass is NLA as well.
Might be easier to derust/treat your existing tailgate than trying to find another though!

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
Sods law and pointless me telling you this now, but I had a near perfect pulsar one I couldn't give away and ended up chopping up and binning.
The guy who had my trailer didn't want it. Though the trailer is now back up for sale on Facebook, that had a decent hatch on it.

Still looking for that elusive tailgate...............................colour not an issue.

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
Are you looking to confirm the VIN number or what Ian? The VIN number is bottom left of the windscreen usually, colour codes are bottom of the passenger side B pillar and there's a couple more somewhere if that doesn't cover what you need to know.
As for the tailgate, you'll be very lucky to get one in any condition, keep your eyes on ebay just in case though.

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
Thanks both
I had confused the issue as I wanted to check VIN plate and details to get V5. Vin plate is on car as it was removed when resprayed - at least I now know where to reaffix it. All other details tie up and ive checked HPI.
And tailgate, yes keeping eyes and ears peeled!

Here's a link to the item in question, at that price i'd hit buy it now before the seller changes his mind and adds a "0" on the end!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-820-Fa ... 4259793133
It even has the optional spoiler on it as well, perfect for a Vitesses if it hasn't already got one!

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
Tis sold - to me, huge thanks chaps, now to work out how to get it here. I think its slightly too wide to fit in my Octavia Estate, but I'll remove the rusty one and try it for size before heading off on 260 mile round trip!

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
Trailer or roof rack perhaps? When you collect it, might be worth having a little chat with the seller to see if he has anything else - wings, bonnet, doors, trim etc come to mind.
It might fit in the Octavia if you turn it diagonally, failing that should fit in the back of your SD1, don't forget to take plenty of padding, blankets, old duvet or similar.
Glad you found one, got to be honest i didn't think you would so i'm glad i was proved wrong!

Re: Mk 1 tailgate -BRG if poss
When off the car tailgates are big and extremely heavy ,as you'll discover when you remove the old one.

I can vouch for the fact SD1 tailgates are heavy with a capital "F" and then some!
