Door Gaps?

Post by Bosley »

Hi all, what are your thoughts on these door gaps? It’s a tourer that I am considering to purchase! It’s showing as a genuine tourer not converted! Thanks Sean.

I don't think they look much different to mine really. Mine is a 1969 genuine factory convertible.

Before buying ours (it is a conversion) the vendor let us fill it up with four adults bouncing and see if the doors still opened and closed and the gaps remained constant.

It passed the test.

Many years ago I bought a lot of four Minors. Divorce garage clear out. I got the convertible running and passed it on but I found the doors got sticky when I parked it on an uneven part of the yard. Maybe an alternative test if you don’t have four people to bounce around.

Worth posting a picture of the full length of the door if possible.
