Mk 1 Door Cards - Unique??

[ozriderp5]

Hi All

I've been told that MK 1 Door Cards are unique and no other model will fit them.

Can anyone tell me if this is true and what the difference is?

PS. I've found a few things about them being different, my question is will later ones fit? Originality is not a priority at the moment.

I don't have a mk1 but this is from memory of seeing one a few years ago.

The MK1 design of door card is certainly different and there is no arm rest AFAI remember. The question is are the rear mounting clips in the same place? The shape of the door card will be the same because all saloons have the same shape doors (only windows and quarter windows vary). So the worst case is you might need to relocate the rear mounting clips and you would need to fit the mounting bracket for the arm rest if the replacement door card has one.
That's my input!

My June Mk1 3-litre has swivel armrests in charcoal top over grey sides which so far as i remember was the only colour/s available.

I think that's what mine used to look like, I'd happily fit later model one if they could be made to fit.

Otherwise I'll just fix mine.

    Mine have no map pockets and are just loosely covered in vinyl.

The whole fixings inside are different and the early Mk1 has no timber top frame

So, if I bought Mk2 door cards I couldn't fit them?

Not fussed about keeping it original, could they be fitted and still have the door handles and window winders etc line up?

Or would I have to replace the entire doors? (I assume they will fit)

[Phil Nottingham]

The cards could be made to fit - its the fixings and the top edge that is different. Doors will fit but you will need Mk2 exterior handles

I'm just going to make the best of what I've got and redo everything inside Oz Custom.

It wont be 'Rover' but it won't be 'Heap of Crap' like it is now.

Tasteful, not tacky....glorious not gaudy....stylish not flashy.....you get the drift.

Where's my purple velour and disco lights

Pulled my rear right door card off yesterday to try and fix a dodgy door mechanism.

Unfortunately it's just a piece of masonite covered with some green wrapping foam and then roughly wrapped in black vinyl.

It's held on by self tappers, the rest of the doors will be the same.

If I can get later door cards I'll make them fit, nothing to lose now.

Been doing some searching and found these pictures from a P5B, same trim as mine so I'd say they will fit the 3litre MK1.
