A few minor modifications have been made to increase rigidity and the method of attachment has been changed. Once everything is sorted I intend to have a batch produced to be sold at cost. I'll update when I can.
Now that is very good news indeed...!!!

I have an original, but the fixings were very brittle and/or incomplete so I would also be interested in sourcing a full replacement if it were available. :wink:

Would love one if the price was right. Any ball-park figures yet?

I have had an overwhelming response to this and have noted down all the names who have expressed an interest on here, via PM and text.

I will update when I know more and can provide some guidance as to price. I paid rather a lot for my original but aim to keep the reproductions reasonable. :D

Oddly, this was listed at 11.33 today.
The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).

Sold already. I wonder who got it??

Yep already gone!, £200 just for a large bit of plastic is way out of price range anyway. I mean they are cool but not £200 cool :roll: Would be great to get a batch load of these made at an affordable price, I understand many people want them!

I gave auto-plas an email themselves, here is the response unfortunately -

"Dear Jack

Thank you for your enquiry but we no longer manufacture rear louvres and we have no stock left unfortunately."

Worth a go I suppose! ;)
