Panel offer

[Maria]

I've just spoken to someone on the phone who has a contact in a Rover dealership. He's hoping, between us and the MGM group, to have enough interest to get panel sets (doors, bonnet, tailgate) at significantly discounted prices from Rover.

This is a fantastic opportunity, and one which I don't think we can afford to pass up if we want our cars to stay on the road for many more years to come.

Would anyone, tentatively, be interested in buying a set? I don't have exact prices, because obviously this depends on the number of people taking up the offer, but it could be as much as a 50% discount.

Count me in.

[Jonathan]

Yes me too. I think that this could be very popular, after all there's always a demand for Maestro and Montego panels given the rate they can disintegrate and the amount of trouble it can be to find good replacements at the dump. I'm after a tailgate and a couple of doors quite urgently, they really let the car down.

I'd have a set of Montego panels - I need the 2 o/s doors asap, and a full set AS WELL as the two doors would be useful. Is this possible?

It's good to see the Club being taken seriously and being offered body panels and also the metric tyres.

The other other Rich.

Maestro panels

What sort of prices are we talking of?

If I remember rightly a tailgate costs about £400+VAT so a full set of panels even at half price is going to run to a tidy sum of over £1000.

Nevertheless, I would be interested in a set at the right price and especially if I could get some front wings without the indicator holes for my 1984 car and the quarter panels around the rear lamps for my Turbo.

Cheers, Matthew

me 2 ,4 doors would be nice

[Maria]

Basically, the more people say yes, the cheaper it gets!

[Simon]

Yes please, the rust on my car is of the "bolt on" kind so is easily cured by swapping doors/tailgate/front wings.

[John S]

Wouldn't mind an MG Tailgate and front drivers door - they both have miniscule but worrying corrosion nevertheless.

[Guest]

yep and me i need a new front drivers door to replace the one with a big hole almost hand sized, don't really want to weld a plate on when a new door would be far better.

[Guest]

Me to please, at the right price, may be needing the panel which is under the back of the tailgate where the striker pin is, every time i hoover the boot, i suck up bits of this panel!

[H48HPE]

if they really are up to 50% discount, i could do with the following:

to start with:

o/s rear wing & wheel arch
o/s sill
drivers door skin or complete door
o/s rear door skin or complete door

then if there's any money left:

n/s rear wing & wheel arch
n/s sill

[Mat_C]

Are the door panels a repair outer skin etc or complete? I could do with o/s front and rear doors.

[Maria]

They'd be complete
