Rimmer Bros R75 sale parts

RoverDan · 9th March 2018, 10:17

Rimmers are having a sale at the moment, here's the link to the Rover 75 parts currently discounted.

Some interesting stuff, but can't help thinking it might be a list of all the parts that are either (a) so reliable they are infrequently ordered, or (b) available 2nd hand in good condition. Anyone ever had to replace LH door hinges due to wear, for instance?

For the accessory / vinyl fetishists, ski hatch johnnies are reduced from £101 to £24 inc VAT, and front foglight fitting kits are reduced from £59 to £21.50 inc VAT - it's not the full fat version, so lacks the switch panel and the lamps themselves, but does appear to include the harness, relay, & lamp trims. Useful?

Front tyre protectors are down from £21 to £18. Worth keeping a set in store in case of an unplanned acquisition? I do!

Quite tempted by a Tourer RH body section for £100, or even a brand new front subframe for £200 - £250...

Enjoy

Wow! When these were first introduced, the price was £4.95 a pair as I recall.

Some absolute steals there, well found!

I still kick myself that I didn't hoover up more of the Spring Protectors when I could get them really (really!) cheap, I think I used to sell them to members for £6.99 per set.

Ah the good old days

Diesel owners might want the rear coil springs for £30. Very hard to find elsewhere if you want OEM parts and something that does break sometimes.

Couple of things I'm tempted by but mines isn't guna break - pma and all that!!
