    Am sorry to hare about your car. How much agreed value did you have on the car, most people now insure them for 4-10 thousand pounds because of this happening. I had a bump in mine and did not declare and paid for the repair myself, this way it had no cat c or d on the v5 if ever I wanted to sell. If the car is as good as you say you may be better off repairing it as it will only go up in value.

    Wow, I suppose they are a large company with large overheads , so about right. When I bought my roof 2 years ago from car hood warehouse I think they were charging approx £600 ish to supply and fit. I bought the two roofs and new cables and got a guy in Milton Keynes to fit it , cost just under £600 altogether.

    If you are talking about the three mouldings that fit on either side of the car , you will have very little chance of getting new replacements, second hand ones may come up but once removed they tend to lose there shape.

    Looks a really nice car, well worth the effort to keep it original. Ford fitted other front spots as well as Carello , I am told by couple of members you can still buy them from mini as they were the same as fitted to Mini Cooper of the same era, at last time of asking I believe they were 120 a pair.
