you should put those opening rear quarter lights on uk ebay as the uk vivas/magnums never had them fitted! so i should think you could get some good money for them!

That's an idea, as I don't think I'm going to use them.

I agree htose rear opening windows are mighty mighty rare in this neak of the woods.... I know a few poepel who are doing restoration of export models and might be intrested... PER try selling them here first if no one takes them do use eBay... get some dollar back for the car

I once went to see a red Magnum coupe which had opening rear quarters fitted. And I think Les Irvings' coupe has them as well - I did wonder if it's the same car.
