Boot lid

Trunk lid or boot i guess you call it on that side of the pond. Anyway is the sedan and the coupe the same size boot lids?I want to order a seal but they listed it as a sedan seal.

I assume you are referring to the Viva HC as this was the only Viva version which did a Saloon (sedan?) and a Coupe.
The boot lids are different and the seal for a saloon will be shorter than the coupe.

No, it is a GT, I believe all trunks are the same size.

I suspect mine came from Australia but, given that this will be costly and given that you are close, you might try to see if you can find a match at Spaenaur https://spaenaur.com/

I think you are calling a 2 door a coupe and a 4 door a sedan, either way the boot / trunk seal is the same length

beyond slow over here - I barely drove the Midget this summer and then managed to let considerable smoke out of the wiring :roll: just trying to get it running again - just to get it in storage.

And yes, totally get the age and tired out - especially these days, when I am done work I have no energy for anything else - though we have worked on the house a fair bit.
