These are known on the forum as door finishers. There are Rover original plastics ones and some chromed brass one's whose manufacture was organised by member Crofts. Both are rare now but there may be a set floating around.

thought a couple of sets out of the last batch of 100 would have surfaced on ebay by now.

the purchasers must have kept to the original agreement

On e-bay they go for really silly money... and I mean expensive!! Nothing at the moment....

But do keep your eyes peeled here and there. They do surface occasionally..... If more members want them, maybe Crofts will arrange another batch

I've PM'd him to see if he is still able to arrange this, as there seems a general interest in the membership for more of these And they do look Good

Got a reply from Dave (Crofts) the relevant part is here...

No I don't mind organising them but I need 50 names of members willing to pay up front by Paypal (same as always)
Last time I said the same to Malcolm (?) and there were 50 names over a weekend and they had them a little over 1 month later.
Over to you !

And so it's over to you, the members...

Start a Thread in the Wanted Section entitled "Croft's Door Finishers" or something similar...... And start a list of names of members who want them. Once you hit 50 names, contact Crofts (on this forum) and he will happily arrange the production run, and a LOT cheaper than E-bay
