Morning all,
Further to my posing on the "lounge" page when some Polish numpty in a 38 tonne artic ran into the back of my 420GSi from behind in an M6 motorway congestion convoy, I need to start putting out the feelers to obtain either preferably a new or a good secondhand one. First question then is my boot lid (hopefully) the same as a 45.................?
Boot lid required!
Re: Boot lid required!
I work at a small mg rover specialist, I can supply and fit a good used tailgate for your 400. If we dont have one the same colour, we can also paint. My works is located in Cradley heath, about 10 miles from you.
I can send a PM with my number and the unit address if you want.

My 420GSi is a saloon - and I took the part number from Rimmer Bros pictures!
However, there is more damage than just a need to replace the boot lid.

I have just broke a low mileage 416 saloon with front end damage so I have everything from the rear end.

Re: Boot lid required!
They say you never stop learning!
Bad news is My 420 has a different boot lid to the "basic" 400/45 insofar as it accommodates a sunken number plate recess with a chrome surround which makes them even more rare - good news is I've located a new one!!
Been hiking the car around for quotes - which have ranged from IsoponSid who gives a 20% discount if you provide the newspaper for masking-up, to a chap who quoted his mobile number with a £ sign in front.
Then I found a very good company and four of them inspected the car, taking out all the trim before replacing it, ad they even suggested how I could reduce the cost if I could source the parts, so I'm awaiting their quote.
Thank you all for your advice and offers, and to paraphrase Sir Bernard Lovell - "watch this space"!

Re: Boot lid required!
You need to tell us who the good guys are (in due course)!
