I have a 1967 Dino Spider, Series 1. I want to return the appearance of the door hinge areas as close to original as possible. Attached are 2 photos of the upper and lower hinge areas on the passenger door. You can see that I have my work cut out for me. If any of you have a Spider in original condi...

Yes, Georg, I would be interested in buying a set of your door lights. You could also email the photos to me at spider2.0.1967@gmail.com (or post them, your choice). And include the price and shipping please. Thanks so much. Lowell M. Dicke

I have a 1967 2.0 litre spider. I am looking, without success to replace the door lights indicated in the attached photo. I could make do with the existing lights if necessary but I do need new gaskets. Any advice on where to look? The usual sources do not carry this item.
Thank you,
