Not sure if you want stainless, rubber or fibreglass ones.

All three are available, but might be pricy now as there probable are not many left.

Beware of 2nd hand rubber ones. Make sure that the mounting inside the bumper itself is free from rust, and that the rubber is not cracked - this leads to the rust!

I think David Gerald do fibreglass ones, but as I said before give sTeVeR or Adrian a call.

Can't help you unfortunately however as a guide I did sell a full set of rubber ones on e bay about 6 months ago which were in near new condition for £280 which should give you an indication of what to expect.

Oh great; I was going to offer them for £400 but I guess I'll keep them now

Oh erm the 2 should have been a 4 in my last post - slip of the finger etc etc ( I will expect a cut of the profits for this you understand)

I bought a set of fibre glass bumpers from Adrian venn at Exactly TVR.They were excelent quality and looked just like the rubber ones.I can't remember how much they were but they were very reasonable and cheaper than good second hand rubber ones.

If you sand them down a bit (fibre glass ones!) and then use tyre black on them, they can look really good (almost indistinguishable from the rubber ones, until very close up)

Gene Bird (Classic Motor Works) over here in the US has reproduction polyurethane ones that are real nice, and fairly priced (checking my receipt I paid US$99.99 per pair). They look great on the shelf anyway (body's off at paint).

patman,
I fitted some of venny's fiberglass bumpers, they look mint! check my homepage for some good photo's of them:
