Default Crofts Door Finishers - A new batch in the Pipeline

Following on from some recent interest by members wanting to get some sets for their cars, member Crofts has once again said that if there is enough interest, he is happy to organise a further production run.


For those who don't know, the original MG Rover door handle finishers were made of plastic and proved to be a very popular accessory, so much so that they quickly sold out.

However, Crofts was able to measure the exact dimensions of the originals, and produce an almost identical looking replica set but of much higher quality. These newer versions are brass plated, and extremely durable.






When placing an order Crofts has stated the factory have always insisted on 50 sets as a minimum, and in previous runs the cost has been around the £50 mark, but the price of brass plate continues to rise, so for this run an actual final price cannot be fixed until the confirmed numbers required are reached.

Payment would need to be made in advance via PayPal only, and direct to Crofts, not the club, in this way he won't be left out of pocket. Once final numbers are confirmed and 50 or more are reached, Crofts will collect all monies and proceed with the order dealing directly with the factory. He will then pack and despatch to members.

This post is to gauge the interest from members in getting another batch of Crofts door finishers produced.

The final costs for the last run ended up being: UK MEMBERS £44.95 & OVERSEAS MEMBERS £48.65, however no set price has been agreed as yet to the increase in material costs, but as a guide cost lets say £50

Our thanks once again go to Dave (Crofts) for stepping up to the plate and organising this for us

Thanks Paul You beat me to it

The originating thread is here

So to re-iterate please copy and paste the latest list into your posts and add your name and the number of sets required (4 per set)..... Simples...

When we hit 50 we will contact Crofts And I guess he'll take it from there

I was one who got into the first batch, and they certainly do make a big difference to that way the car looks.

Latest list is.. (copy and paste into your post)

1) dodgydave 2010 x 1
2) dallcorp x 1
3) shaneyboy x 1
4) (is this you?)

Target to hit is 50 ..................
