What my photos didn't show was the RH door has the lock in with the latch pull. And an ivory cup. And the 1/4 light opening mechanism is different to the LH. The LH door seems later, with the trim applied retrospectively. It as a black plastic winder, but the original was in a box inside the car. > > I've just got hold of a tatty fastback for parts.
