I've just sent an email via Ebay asking if price is per pair and pointing out the VAT mistake will let you know what answer I get. I would really like the price to be per pair even though I kinda have my heart set on the series ii doors.

I 100% read the ad as being for a pair. There is very little doubt, if any, in my own mind.
However, id stll pay the £250 extra and get galvanised...

well that works out at £420 per door, £350 excluding VAT so that would mean £840 for a pair. It's £399 for the series ii kit and I'm sure with proper prep and care I can make them last more than 10 years
My SIII Station Wagon had a simple rectangular panel with the one corner trimmed around the lock and another around the check strap. Easy to make from thin ply and cover with something of your choice.

funny feekerAh sorry.
I don't do international delivery
Just had an answer from Craddocks
£420 plus vat is the normal price for one we are selling 2 for £597.50 including vat
I've asked them how much for courier but no answer yet
so there you have it we get two doors for £597.50 including VAT, still prefer the series style doors though
Totally agree with you, and despite all the overtime I put in the tax man has taken a huge chunk of it so all I can afford is the series style doors and the exmoor canvas trims, so for once the tax man has maybe done me a favour......did i really just say that !

Do a before and after picture cos I'm tempted to swap mine for a soft top in the long term and removable door tops are they way to go if it's a soft top
Thought I'd post a wee update as it's been awhile since I promised before n after pics of the new series doors. It's taken me so long because painting with a roller and hammerite aint that easy do'able just took longer than I thought and then there was the actual problem of fitting the doors. So far I've only done the passenger door as that leaked badly, I've cured the leak but having problems fitting the door properly. Either the door shuts and locks but its sticking out a bit and wont open without force or it shuts looks inline with rest of body work but wont lock.
No instructions were supplied with the kit, not even a parts (kit) list. Had to contact the suppliers because the plates to fit the handle to the doors was missing they were very quick to post them out to me. Have asked them if they had any instructions or parts list and they just replayed that they assumed that people buying this product had some mechanical knowledge or access to a garage that can fit them on your behalf. Some hints and tips on how to line up the door handle with the striker would have been nice, has anybody here had any experience with fitting these doors, help very much appreciated.

I got mine from SP http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-90-110-SERIES-TYPE-2-PIECE-FRONT-DOOR-TOPS-AND-BOTTOMS-KIT-/252161943846?hash=item3ab605e926:g:ggMAAOSw2XFUblH9
And they fitted my 110 perfectly! Mine were a fair bit cheaper as I didn't need the glass, the handles or the strikers
