Roverland.eu on that ebay link thinks everything he sells is gold plated. 2 or 3 spares days ago he bought an HA front slam panel off me - desperately need for his restoration - on ebay the next day at twice the price :wink: unless you are desperate avoid him like the plague :wink:

Roverland is Adrian Bailey Classics. I know him pretty well. He is expensive but is useful if you need a rare part that no one else can get.

Those sills don't seem extortionate as I paid £40 each from Star panels before they stopped making them.Might contact him and see if he is flexible on price. Good for 'stock' until Ex- pressed Steel start making them...

And yet now you've got the rear wheelarch repair panels again, the sills don't need that bit if anyone is replacing sills and arches. The sill itself is a fairly basic curve with, for most cases, just a flange with a lip across the bottom edge. I'd think most don't really need the edge of the door step, does the top edge rot that often?

Good point Mike. Can the sills be made without the tricky wheel arch section or sills used off a different car with a similar profile?

I have asked Mike at Expressed steel Panels to take the sill and rear arch package into account as a possible when remanufacture of sills is addressed

I was just thinking it's a straight curved section (if you see what I mean, a constant curve all the way along) which wouldn't be hard to bend from a flat sheet.
