What A Shame This Couldn't Be Saved!

Have to admit it's the 1st one I've seen at a Breakers and the 1st McNeille LWB I've seen that's NOT been Royal Blue!

I've often wondered:

If my rear, LWB window gets smashed, are there any replacements available?

What happens in the rear, longer, doors get crumpled? Is a single bashed door going to mean the car is a write-off?

Think I'd be getting my name on the rear doors, chrome trims, door cards and sill finishing strip, as I'm fairly certain that they are no longer available!

Edit: Just checked they are "Out Of Stock" at Rimmers, so think they'd be reasonably hard to get hold of!

Ironically, it looks like this one is being scrapped due to, standard size, front door damage

I,ve never seen a limo 75 before, how many were made and i,m sure it could be saved if the seller listed what is wrong with it

I recently posted a link to new lwb windows for sale on fleebay iirc they were fish £35 each,great value I thought considering they could be almost impossible to find should you be unlucky enough to need one. New doors were also availability somewhere recently also, again IMO worth storing if you own a lwb ?http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=118708 Hopefully this is a link. I'm using a tablet and not sure how to copy paste yet lol.

Have to concur!

Unfortunately, our cars are currently worth more in bits, than as a whole!

Well, ive just asked him if he'll sell me the whole car and what the damage is.
