I've been on the lookout for one of these since my car went into storage last year.

I need a pre-facelift (1987) OSF window regulator AND motor for a saloon.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

IF you have green tinted glass, you could fit the later scissor mech., and never worry about it failing again, but you will need the glass to go with it, since it's a different shape at the bottom.

Unfortunately, I don't have the green tints!

I'd rather try and find the regulator/motor if I can.
