If “inherited” a wonderful old barn full of treasures (junk)

Can anyone identify what this door is from so I can eBay it and make my fortune?





As an extra bit of fun, any ideas on these?



And just to complete the picture, here’s the rest of the contents




I’m yet to discover the barn-find Bentley / Aston

Is it a 1965 Corvette door?

Bumper is MK2 Golf GTI (big bumper), but looks maybe a copy/aftermarket one. Should be fog lights where the mesh bit is.

I might be due a whoosh parrot, but it’s a Mini door?

I'm surprised I got that, I know next to nothing about minis, but my much older sister had a sliding window mini a long time ago, and it looked similar.

The Mini door is from a '59 to late '65 Mk1 as it has the 'short' door handle, from January '66 the handle was a little bit longer and had a safety boss mounted in the door skin, reputedly because a small boy was impaled on one of the earlier handles wink

Also, the interior door handle is an aftermarket jobbie, probably made by Cosmic Accessories in Walsall!

The big door bins were made that size to fit a milk bottle in (supposedly).

When I was a baby my mother had a Mini estate (the one with the wood). We were on our way back from a village fete driving down a country lane when a car came towards us in the middle of the road. Both he and my old man swerved and went into the ditches on either side of the road. I flew from the back seat, over the front seat and ended up with my head wedged in the door bin!

I think the second pic is a Rover rear wing.
