Check out the works dash, starting price £1.3k
now if he had a halda twinmaster on there then it would be realistic start price.

No doubt some fool will buy it.
Be very careful with that seller, I had a very near miss last year until I ranted at ebay customer services several times and they refunded my money.

I'm sure someone re-manufactures those Lodge plugs and leads

I dunno, but the old 66 Cooper I bought (bastard) has a set of those leads (new).
£1500 with a fully restored shell.
Gradually putting it back together. Still after a 3.7 salisbury CWP.

They are good plug caps, all be it unsuppressed. However if you are an ultimate rivet spotter the repros don't have the LODGE branding on them.

I was watching that floor as well. Unfortunately it had mk3 outer sills on it. And in Brighton.

6 vent sills. . . . .Thats a bit of a bummer.
Still, I honestly reckon that the final price was pretty good when compared to a M-Machine one. I expected it to go for around £1,500

Yes.... with the normal e bay type prices I must admit I expected it to make £1000 to £1500 as well.
The seller has 4 of them.

I stuck a good bid in on this and out bid straight away! I was also the first to bid on this too, its already sky high with less than a day gone.. Am I being paranoid or would you suspect this is being run up? I know the seller is a forum member but... eBay psycology, normal stuff isn't this high so quickly! Everyone wants a bargain to a certain extent and I know it's a bundle of goodies but blummin ekk!!
Thoughts??

There's so much shill bidding going on with Ebay it's tough to tell but it doesn't help when bidder's information is kept private. It'll only go for what someone's prepared to pay at the end of the day so it hardly matters on this well publicised item and yes everyone wants a bargain but with the weakeness of stirling it's not gonna happen unless someone's listed it poorly.
