Default Front bumper wanted

Decent price offered for an A1 condition front bumper for:

142/4/5 1968-73
or
164 1973 only

I don't need the rubber, so its condition is unimportant.

The metal section must be undamaged and have a good finish. Ideally I would like a new-old-stock item

Thanks!

John

John - just a thought. Have you tried Amazon Cars? When we were let loose in the stores at Cumbers Garage, Brixham some years back (hoovering up Amazon bits!) there were several new bumpers amongst the masses of stuff we didn't buy. Later I was told Amazon Cars bought all their older Volvo spares - maybe worth a call?

I have a couple of used ones, but knowing you as being a perfectionist would not insult you....

Thanks Paul,

I will try Amazon. I would be happy with a used bumper provided it is A1 condition

Cheers

144 1969 front bumper was a slightly different shape in the middle than the 1970 one.

Thanks - I have now obtained a new-old-stock bumper.

Welcome to the forum, by the way. I'm not far from you, in Huddersfield
