Not too upset (I was last night though ! :lol: ) as I've now got a buyer for my 1071 - who actually turned up to view my W&P Mk3 ! All of which means the W&P 'S' is now staying put which I am very pleased about.

If it was a 190 / 333 casing that's got to be worth twice what the buyer paid on its own.

Good news on the W & P Pete, good to see your keeping it.

I've just noticed that amongst the huge list of options you now get down the left hand side of the page when searching in the car parts category, there is an option for 'Classic car parts'. I don't know how long it's been there but I've only just noticed it, it's a different system to achieve the same effect as the old category as far as I can see.

Yes, it looks like Classic Car Parts is back.

A Classic Car Parts category is (as Austin Cooper says) appearing on the left hand side of the page. Not easy to find it first time, but it is there.

Oddly, I listed 2 parts last night - (a race clutch for a VW Beetle / camper, and a Lotus seven alloy pedal bracket) and the Lotus part offered me the classic car parts option, but the Clutch didn't........ I've tried to revise the listing of the clutch to correct this, but cannot find the tick box, or classic car parts in any of the drop down lists!

It's all very odd.

still, it's better than it was, and unfortunately it's probably still the easiest place to sell such stuff.
