Crofts Door Finishers - A new batch in the Pipeline
Following on from some recent interest by members wanting to get some sets for their cars, member Crofts has once again said that if there is enough interest, he is happy to organise a further production run.
For those who don't know, the original MG Rover door handle finishers were made of plastic and proved to be a very popular accessory, so much so that they quickly sold out. However, Crofts was able to measure the exact dimensions of the originals, and produce an almost identical looking replica set but of much higher quality. These newer versions are brass plated, and extremely durable. When placing an order Crofts has stated the factory have always insisted on 50 sets as a minimum, and in previous runs the cost has been around the £50 mark, but the price of brass plate continues to rise, so for this run an actual final price cannot be fixed until the confirmed numbers required are reached. Payment would need to be made in advance via PayPal only, and direct to Crofts, not the club, in this way he won't be left out of pocket. Once final numbers are confirmed and 50 or more are reached, Crofts will collect all monies and proceed with the order dealing directly with the factory. He will then pack and despatch to members. This post is to gauge the interest from members in getting another batch of Crofts door finishers produced. The final costs for the last run ended up being: UK MEMBERS £44.95 & OVERSEAS MEMBERS £48.65, however no set price has been agreed as yet to the increase in material costs, but as a guide cost lets say £50 Our thanks once again go to Dave (Crofts) for stepping up to the plate and organising this for us If you are interested in buying a set please add your name below together with the quantity you require, but at this stage, send no money: 1) dodgydave 2010 x1 2) dallcorp x1 3) shaneyboy x1 4) the_Kman x1 5) pab x1 6) Starman x1 7) radi8or x1 8) rogerls x1 9) Mark P. x1 10) Mannie x1 11) A Rover? x1 12) avon x1 13) Lost Soul x1 14) Frankfurt-rover x1 15) mikem47 x1 16) djw40 x1 17) Baconbuttyman x1 18) Rover66 x1 19) Newcybrown x2 20) Gren 24 x1 21) Loki x1 22) Relpet x1 23) vmaxrider x1 24) Austingarages x2 25) TheRover x1 26) Mobeetie x1 27) dcw x3 28) Stubie x1 29) Ian Stewart x1 30) bucklesham x1 31) Dave Cooper x1 32) Argle18 x1 33) Yosh x1 34) freddie x1 35) Frank Incensed x1 36) K1AAS x1 37) MindTheGap99 x1 38) broadaces x2 39) vincenzo x1 40) egremont x1 41) Godders 75 x1 42) hibsfan x1 43) Hinged_Bap x1 44) MisterTomez x1 45) fudgie66 x1 46) Air Rover x1 Total number of sets to date = 51 Minimum order now achieved, any more takers before Crofts proceeds ?

Thanks Paul You beat me to it
The originating thread is here So to re-iterate please copy and paste the latest list into your posts and add your name and the number of sets required (4 per set)..... Simples... When we hit 50 we will contact Crofts And I guess he'll take it from there I was one who got into the first batch, and they certainly do make a big difference to that way the car looks. Latest list is.. (copy and paste into your post) 1) dodgydave 2010 x 1 2) dallcorp x 1 3) shaneyboy x 1 4) (is this you?) Target to hit is 50 ..................
