Hi,
my 2500M 1977 similar to the brown with cream band M seen in the racer section needs perhaps some paint job
but do you know if the brown is vauxhall color or another marque and cream?
Also the roof needs some repairs, some holes in the brown vinyl and the sunroof is a little rotten I think it is a modified mini sunroof also brown.If you know where I can found these parts or some info...

I have just taken my sunroof off to be refurbished.
I have spoken to 2 repairers:
R & S Coachbuilt's
123A Old Dover Road
Blackheath
SE3 8SY

Tel:0208 858 4312
Fax:0208 305 2194
e-mail: rscoachbuilts@btconnect.com

&
Peter Harvey Trimmer and sunroof fitter Tel 01304 614412. He has sent me samples of different colour vynyls.
R&S have the original tooling.
Peter Harvey is cheaper and the plates are made of alloy rather than steel. I am thinking I will go with Peter Harvey as I have spoken to him, and he has 30 yrs experience, and was very helpful.

On the chassis plate on the bulkhead, there should be a paint colour stamped towards the bottom. This is likely to be an old colour (ie no longer made) but take it to an established paint shop they should be able to trace it and match with an available colour
