A mini part as old as me!

But I can not believe the value people are bidding for, it just goes to show what some will do to have an original part!

Item 160681327101

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Regards
Jon

You could probably get any fancy new sports car you would like.

In that case what is my 1959, 2 owner, 34.000 mile Inch Land Rover worth ?
It must share some bits, not least the fluid resevoir caps as above.

Regards
Jon

U2U me for the address to send the cheque to.

A decrepit Landrover? 2 subway tokens? IF it is still ambulatory.
Hey! this is Museum England Despite dire economic conditions, seemingly No shortage of Twits who will pay large for anything 'old' regardless of whether or not 99.9% of the world would consider it as nothing more than Trash.

mmm. A quick google of your email address Bare seems to suggest you delight in trolling other forums too.

You still interested in Hondas, RC models, Valve Amps and Computer Games? Also have you really been building race engines since the 60s?

I presume your still in Canada? Museum England - feel free to forget the other countries in the UK!

Get back under your bridge where you belong.
