The doors are in decent condition for what they've been through: I was the 3rd owner of a kit over 15+ years that never ended up finished so I pulled parts off it and junked the body years ago due to issues with my apartment complex.
The last parts I have in storage are the gull wing doors and the engine flap. The doors were never mounted, are intact with no cracks or splits. They do have a few chips in the edges and surface scratches from being moved around - the previous owners did not store them well. The flap was mounted, its plum in color though the paint has chips near the top where the hinges had been. Not sure if I still have the hinges for it or not but its intact, again no cracks or splits.
I have held onto them for the last 6 years and tried to sell them a few times but had a lot of no show buyers or no interest. I have also lived in 3 states so I'm guessing the timing and location just weren't working in my favor. I really have no idea what to ask for them so I'm open to any reasonable offer as long as you're willing to pick up locally. I'm outside of Philadelphia, 20 minutes to the DE border.
Below are the pictures of the doors put in place on the car back when I was selling the whole thing for point of reference. I can take new pictures to show them as they are now, I just have to get them out of storage.
I have two extra sets of new, still-wrapped doors on hand, so unless they can be had for very little, I'm probably not your buyer.
However, it may help you to move them more quickly if you give us a little more information.
1. Never mounted, okay, but were these doors cut down to fit the car, or are they still oversize as they came from Bradley, Allied Plastics or Sun Ray?
2. Have any holes been drilled in the doors for hinges, props, handles, locks or other hardware?
These are important factors. No two cars are alike, and the mounting holes for hardware and fasteners are bound to be off from one car to the next. Same goes for trimming the overage. Outlines will be close, but rarely identical from one car to the next.
BTW, I'm in Lancaster, not far from you at all. I get down to the Philly area fairly often. Lots of buds there, and my daughter works for the Philadelphia DA's office. Back in the '80s, I used to manage a hobby shop in the KOP Plaza.
Ok, to answer your questions 1. No they weren't cut, when I rested them on the car for those pictures, they didn't fit correctly as in they were too big and would have to be cut to fit perfectly. For the kit I had, I would have had to cut them down a lot (to me anyways) to install them and 2. I said unmounted as in never attached to, cut or drilled - they are intact. Only issues are the chips which would get cut off and the surface scratches...no idea what could be done about that.
I realize not having them in plastic makes them less valuable then the ones you have, I just don't feel like storing them. I have kept them because I don't want to just throw them away which is why I'm posting here.
I'm in-between West Chester and Newtown Square and unfortunately the hobby shop was before my time.

shawklein: I am a new first time owner of a 1980 GT2 and I'm slowly learning parts I am in need of. Does anyone have an extra of the triple striker used to latch the front assembly cover? Or what have people used if this is missing?

steve09: I am a pasted Bradley GT II owner, having build 2 of them from scratch. At one time I considered becoming a “dealer”. I have just found a box of old Bradley Sales materials in excellent shape and I was wondering if it might be worth anything.

r3fab: Tried some Triumph GT-6 seats, about the lowest seats ever made, and still too tall! Quick answer appears to be fabricating seat backs to work with the floor and padding. At only 5'10" this is not an issue I expected.
