Bang goes my chance of getting a cheap deal!
The seller wants a lot of money for it so wont be sold cheaply
I'll just wait another 10 years for the next one to come along!

Is it not possible to at least reproduce a Super grille by adding suitable chrome/stainless upright bars to a normal wavy grille......the ebay grille needs at least one of them replacing anyway?

I would have thought that the uprights would be just the sort of thing that could be reproduced by a 3D printer then plastic chromed or similar, would be useful to get the look whilst waiting for an original to come along

The upright bars are aluminium and are not solid.
They are an extrusion and then fixed on by rivets from the rear.
A copy would be possible to do but to have an original would be nice

Might be the pictures (or the PC I'm looking at them on) but the rear window looks like it's the MK2 size
