Decided to try and treat my parents to a bit of their loft space back by trying to offload a few bits.

 

Bought as and believed to be a genuine Autoplas Louvre. A little rough around the edges from when I assume it was removed from a car but in great condition otherwise.

Nearly full interior from a 1983 Zircon blue mayfair. I beleive a rear door card might be missing as a previous owner seems to have melted it during some ropey welding.

That's not a tear on the corner of the seat but a mixture of cobwebs and sawdust.

There's even a full carpet set to match as well I think.

Steering column with stalks and barrel. (Key is somewhere in the house) It always threw me because the indicator is on the right of the column, Iv'e always assumed that's just an age related thing or is it just completely wrong?

 

That's all for now, thanks in advance for any valuations.

I have no idea of the value of the louvre but if it is complete with fixings I might be interested.... for a good price and nowt ridiculous...

As far as I'm aware the louvre would normally be bonded to the window with some thing like tiger seal. Hence it dosnt have a fixing kit with it.

Unless you had a nice rear engined mini you could remove the window and secure it with mechanical fixings for cooling benefits other that just aesthetics.

Looks more like a ABS Motorsport louvre to me, Autoplas ones all have little fixing buttons along the sides, though you could probably get £80 at least for it, they are always in high demand!

As far I was aware ABS weren't making them when I bought this but I could be wrong.

It might be an Autoplas one, can't quite see the defining features from that angle.

To be fair having further looked at other autoplas ones it dosnt seem to have the fixing holes on the side. So could well be an abs one then.

Any idea on price for the other bits?
