Paul H Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385332650165? Looking at the pics the rear window has a strut added , seller says the strut is attached . Any ideas ? Despite the rust the seller says it’s not been fitted before. I thought sunroofs were added by after market sellers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicscrap Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I would think that the strut is to support the window frame during manufacture and storage, which would back up the statement that it’s never been fitted. 12/50s had sunroofs as standard, so they were probably fitted at the factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Brand new unfitted; the support would be removed after fitting. There's also a brand new Herald bodytub in Nottingham, I'm almost on the point of attaching the trailer and driving over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Colin I think you will find the wings are the new bit and the rest of the tub will need attention eg the wheel well is shot Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but not at that price... and not from that supplier. The last one I got was woeful. I deal with them for other things but their apprentice must have been in charge the day my 1200 valence was made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin I had a front valance off Fitchets for my Vitesse back in around 2003, I wasn't particularly impressed with it, it wasn't as bad as yours but needed a bit of fettling to fit correctly (presumably the original press tool is quite worn now?) I also found it started to rust after a few years, even though I had it media blasted and etched primed before painting, poor quality steel maybe?
