Hi All,

I am about to start working on the interior of my Mini and amongst the things I have to do is replace the door furniture.

I have seen the various chrome sets available all over the place :

And the Rover ones:

However, I was wondering if there are any alternatives from other old cars that might work?

Ford Anglia/ Cortina:

Anyone got any ideas?

I think DSN classics do a set. They're rather pricey though!

I've seen the DSN Classics set and they are very nice!

I would still like something different though, more out of the ordinary.

I did a cheap and cheerful mix and match jobby on mine. Took the chrome rings of an old alloy handle set and used them with the black plastic originals, looks smart but original too.

I was doing my daily dose of eBay browsing and found this picture

Looks like some pretty unique door furniture. Never seen it before, but you could contact the seller and see if they can give you any more information
