Whats the differnece between mk 1-2-3 louvre?
Got a louvre, but it does not fit mine perfectly, it also does not fit 240's, 740's, 940's, a couple of fords, including escort mk2, some bimmers, and some old opel/vauxhall's

Its to short for my window, but i gues ill glue it on or something

Hi Tim,

the main difference is that different 300s had different rear windows. Mk1 & Mk2s had the same rear hatch, here the louvre is clipped under the window seal. The same is the case for saloon cars.

MkIIIs had a larger, bonded windscreen - here you can only glue the louvre to the window itself.

Try a search on the subject of fitting:

The different louvre types:

Mk1/2 hatch


Mk3 hatch


saloon


Cheers

the one i got looks like the saloon one
the window on them are shorter than the hatch im guessing
its wide enough for my window, but not long enough

thanks for reply!

That's OK ...

I think you can go by

Mk1/2 5 "grilles"
MkIII 6 grilles
saloon 7 grilles

Saloon and MkIII louvres are very rare, certainly worth looking after!

Cheers

Tom

its allready broken thou, cracked some things here and there, but everything can be fixed

it says auto-plas on it to, dont know if that means anything or not

will get another pick of it up soon

Hi tim.
looks like you have a very rare piece of kit there.
Cheers Mark.

Best thing about it is that it was free

Maybe it's not for a 300 after all? The Autoplas saloon louvre I sold to Mark was a KH334 and had seven horizontal bits to it:


I'm sure I have the measurements, somewhere ...

i have no idea, thats why i ask
would have been fun to find one, and dont have to pay for it thou
