Mr N
Found them!
Racing Green have them in stock for both doors. About £6 a pair including postage.
I think he refered them as door end cap. They got them when they bought up a dealer's stock.
BTW, I had spoken to Andy in TVR Power's parts dept. These were moulded at the TVR factory. A far as he knows, they aren't in production anywhere and he hasn't had them for a while.

Wouldnt swear to it, but I think multipart will have these as part of the spares list,although they might still be sourcing them.Racing Green have them in stock for both doors. About £6 a pair including postage.

If you speak to people who work in the spares departments of companies that have been stalwart suppliers of TVR part, you might hear gloomy news.
Although they have been appointed by TVR, they don’t want to hold stock. If you order a part that was made by TVR you go onto back order. When/if enough people have that part on back order to make it worthwhile getting some made, then they might (or might not) think about it.
When a part is one that TVR originally sourced from another company then they will order it when they have enough orders to get a good bulk discount.
They took the contract on from TVR on the basis that there would be a large dealer network. That network was expected to invest large sums into stockholding spares. As dealers aren’t getting appointed and the few that still remain are not getting new cars, they are understandably reluctant to make large capital investments in parts.
That firm deals only with companies, and not direct with owners. As the spares guy put it, “there’re good at bean counting, filling boxes and loading vans”
