Title: Bond minicar g tourer
Post by: bubble999 on February 27, 2017, 10:38:09 AM
Help please, we have just purchased a bond and found that although we thought it was an estate it should be a tourer. A previous owner has cut off the body from behind the seats down to the bumper line leaving nothing between the rear wings. We are looking for a boot lid and rear panel that surrounds it. Or somebody to loan us a boot lid to unable us to have a fibreglass mould make so we can produce one for ourself and have the mould for anybody in the future who might need one. Thank you in advance , Lynne & Gary

Any photos available?

Here is my one but probably of no use to you.

Lynne's got the "Estate" bodywork.  What's she's asking for is the rear deck and boot lid, which will originally have been present, before a previous owner cut it out to make an estate.  As she says, that's not likely to be an easy find - but certainly worth looking for!

Lynne:  if it helps, you can have a good look at my G Tourer at a rally, and you should have a chat to Stan Cornock, who successfully converted his Mk F van to a tourer.

Thank you to everybody, one way or another we will put it back to original , so a tourer it will be. Gary is starting tomorrow putting the hubs and wheels back on and then we are going to get a local fabricator to look at it for advice. But if anybody knows of a back panel or boot from a tourer that would make his job much easier. Thanks again to everybody, we will keep you updated and post some pictures.
