There's one )or at least was!) in HK Motors scrapyard, in Ruabon. Not too far from you, and a useful car for other bits. It's red in colour.

Cheers mat - how long ago did you see it? BTW mine is red so that's great

The end of February, here are a few photos.

It was so far buried in the yard (in an area of low turnover) I would imagine it would still be there, it had already been there for about 3 months at least.

Hi Paulalig and welcome.
Try this I Spotted on OLD CLASSIC CAR site:-

BX - Parts For Sale Ad. STEVEN OBYRNE (NEWCASTLE) (7/5).
NEW BX ESTATE TAILGATE
Contact at 01670512189 OR 07828668836

Link to site:-

As the ad states 'NEW' I don't know if its just the fibreglass tailgate without the glass bonded in, would be no good without glass ! maybe some one knows/could advise ? Easiest way is to ring up and ask the seller ?
Also being new I'd guess its just sprayed in base primer so it would need painting !

If you'd had the incident a couple of weeks ago I could have helped with a tailgate in Meteor Grey Colour, off a 'H' reg. Estate.
But I had no storage space so I scrapped it, but I did take the rear wiper motor and lock mechanism off it.
If anyone needs these bits PM me I do also have the same parts available for the hatchbacks.
Thanks.

I bet ArticSteel has one, he was in the process of scrapping an estate I'm sure and he's quite local to you Paulalig.
